Is Pain In The Heels A Symptom Of Gout?
I have started to experience pain in the back of my heel - not on the bottom or near the Achilles Tendon. I had one Gout attack in my knees 2 years ago and was given Colchicine that relieved it almost immediately. I have some arthritis in my fingers. Could this be heel gout? It is not at all as painful as the previous one out attack, but it does hurt to walk.

dear sir. the cause needs to be found out. kindly get an x Ray done. some times a spur which means tiny bony projections in the heal mite cause it. other cause mite be gout but it's rare in heal. kindly meet ur physician to get tests done n cause to be found. as u said joint pain in the fingers mite be also due to so many caused. kindly meet a rheumatologist for ur problem solving. thank u
