How to distinguish plantar fasciitis and gout

Plantar fasciitis and gout are two diseases that cause pain in the bottom of the foot and heel, especially after stepping on the ground. The two diseases may be very similar, but the two diseases are completely different. Plantar fasciitis is only a local sterile inflammation. Plantar fasciitis is normal at rest, that is, when the foot is not under weight, its pain can basically disappear. Gout and plantar fasciitis are completely two diseases. When gout occurs, the pain may not be relieved at rest, and it will worsen after landing. In addition, gout itself is a metabolic disease, uric acid will be significantly elevated, while uric acid in plantar fasciitis is normal. They are completely two diseases, and the difference is also very large.
