Can gout cause right shoulder pain

If gout is in an acute attack, uric acid levels in the patient's body increase, causing urate crystals to precipitate and deposit in or around the joints of the right shoulder, resulting in local aseptic inflammation, which may lead to right shoulder pain. However, if gout is in a stable stage, it may not cause right shoulder pain.

Right shoulder pain may be caused by scapulohumeral periarthritis, chronic strain, trauma, etc. Patients need to go to the hospital for examination, clear cause, and take targeted treatment.
