Can you get a gout flare-up in your heel?

No: It may rarely effect the achilles tendon but not the heel proper.

You can: It is possible. A foot doc would know if you have gout or a heel spur or plantar fascitis. One way to differentiate is by aspirating the region of pain. Monosodium urate crystals would confirm a gout diagnosis.
