Is pain in the instep gout?

Instep pain may be induced by gout. First of all, it is necessary to clarify the nature of instep pain. For gout induced instep pain, it is often a sudden attack, and there is a certain incentive before the attack, often after drinking or eating a high purine diet. The attack will also be accompanied by obvious joint pain, accompanied by a significant increase in local skin temperature. For patients who are highly suspected of gout foot pain, blood uric acid and joint ultrasound should be further improved. If the patient shows a significant increase in blood uric acid levels and joint ultrasound can see the formation of tophith, then the foot pain caused by gout can be definitely diagnosed.
