A member asked:
Could gout cause lower leg pain in addition to the pain in the big toe?
6 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
Yes: Because the gout can cause the big toe pain and then because of that you may walk funny as to not put pressure on the big toe....Not uncommon.

Probably not: Unless the pain is associated with an acute attack, the answer would be no.
