A member asked:

I have a swelled foot only painful sometimes. has lasted since early june. was treated for gout had blood tests and it is not gout. what could this be?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Swelling could: be caused by local inflammation such as arthritis. But it could also be caused by lymphatic or venous obstruction, such as deep venous thrombophlebitis. Show your foot to your doctor to make sure your condition is not a potentially life threatening one.

I had a urine exam early May in which I had uric acid crystals. Then in late June I had a blood uric acid exam which was normal at 4.0. Does this mean I have gout or had it but it resolved? Had a few symptoms before but now seem gone?
