My hands feel stiff during night most of the days ? i had gout flare first time in life about 4 months ago. could this be related or is start of arthritis?

Gout occurs when urate crystals accumulate in your joints, causing inflammation and intense pain. You are at risk if you eat a diet rich in meat/seafood and drink beverages sweetened with fruit sugar (fructose) or beer. Ongoing inflammation of the joints at a level below that causing a gout flareup can cause the stiffness and pain. NSAIDS, colchicine, allopurinol and other treatments are available
