Foot pain on top side, is it gout?
6 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Hyperuricemia-gout: Gout typically effects the big toe joint (mpj) due to sodium urate crystal deposits and due to gravity of the joint. It will present as a red hot swollen joint that you can barely touch. If you have pain on the side of the foot it probably is more biomechanical in nature.

One of many:: It could also be a flatfoot issue, impingement of the cuboid, a stress fracture, just to name a few.
