Hi
Went through your post as you have mentioned that you have pain in butts and ankle they are large joints of body, RA usually involves small joints of hands predominantly and can also involves large joints especially ankle and knee rarely hips on the other hand gout involves joint of great toe and is sudden in onset and with severe pain, I would suggest you consult a Rheumatologist because I don't think you have RA or gout.
