No.: Gout does not generally give symptoms like that. Sounds like you have another problem. You didn't elaborate, but you may have cramps or restless legs syndrome or another entity. Your uric acid level is mildly elevated. It is associated with gout but certainly not causative. Try non steroidal such as Ibuprofen 400 mg before bed to see if it helps. You might add 325 mg acetominophen if needed.
