Unusual for gout: Gout at age 22 is rare unless there is an inherited problem with purine and uric acid metabolism. I would first look for other causes of persistent joint pain. If a rheumatologist verifies that indeed you do have chronic gout, medications must be given to 1. stop the attack and 2. lower the uric acid level in the blood to prevent future attacks of gout.
