General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
It is not possible to diagnose gout based on the symptoms. Kindly get your blood tested for uric acid level.
Also, it would be advisable to get your arthritis work-up done by means of following investigations:
1. Erythrocyte Sedementation Rate (ESR).
2. RA factor.
3. ASO titre.
Kindly consult Orthopaedician with the report for further evaluation and management. In case it is confirmed that it is gout, it can be treated and controlled by means of medications.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
I find this answer helpful
