Hi, I’m Concerned That Random And Not Overly Frequent Flare
Elastic brace can help.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
Repeated attacks of gout and arthritis do cause a painful joint in the long run. The pain becomes more evident during the stressful activities. The persistent symptoms can be due to a persistent mild inflammation in the joint. Mild anti inflammatory pain killers, regular hot compress and some stretching exercises can help in reducing the inflammation. You can also use an elastic ankle brace for an extra support in the area and to reduce the pain.
I hope this answers your query.

Hello.
Thanks for writing again.
The mild intermittent pain that you have can be related to arthritis or low levels of calcium also. You can start with heating pad and local anti inflammatory gel. Mild oral pain killer like Aleve will also help. You can continue with rest and monitor it for next few days. In case it does not improve even after a week then consider consulting an orthopedician for a detailed examination and investigations.
Hope my answer is helpful.
