Hello,

Also, check for peripheral vascular disease or other crystal-induced arthritis or connective tissue disorders or psoriatic arthritis or osteomyelitis etc.

Get it done color doppler of lower limbs, serum uric acid, ANA, synovial fluid aspiration and analysis etc.

Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is.

Please consult your rheumatologist he will examine and treat you accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
