Pain in the back of the foot can be a gout attack, or it can be related to osteoarthritis, trauma, etc.
Gout is a metabolic disease that commonly affects the first metatarsal (big toe), finger, knee, elbow and other joints. When it involves the tarsal region of the foot it can lead to gout attack symptoms such as pain and swelling in the back of the foot.
In addition to gout, dorsal foot pain may also be associated with osteoarthritis and trauma. The patient should be closely asked about the history of trauma, and at the same time improve the blood uric acid, foot X-ray and other related examinations to further clarify the diagnosis.
When the patient has back pain, he can go to the orthopedics, rheumatology and immunology departments of regular hospitals, and follow the doctor’s instructions for diagnosis and treatment.
