A member asked:
My inner ankle bone is red swollen is it gout ?

Ankle sprain: If you did not injure yourself and your ankle is very swollen, it is possible that you have gout. In the interim, avoid weight-bearing activity, take Naproxen if there are no contraindications, and schedule a visit to see your healthcare provider. Good luck.

It could be: The ankle is not the primary site for gout to occur but it is possible.

Can!: It is not uncommon for the ankle to be involved. Certainly less common than the mtp, and more common than the knee. Upper extremeity joints are all less common than the lower extremity, because of their dependency. Fluid from your vascualr system seeps out more in the lower extremity. At night, water moves back into your blood stream than uric acid, which crystalizes and gout attack occurs.
