People with gout may have ankle joint effusion, which is mainly related to arthritis caused by gout, and timely treatment is recommended.
Gout is due to a disorder of purine metabolism in the body, resulting in a sustained increase in the concentration of uric acid in the blood, and the formation of small pinpoint monosodium urate crystals after supersaturation, which can be deposited in the cartilage, synovium and surrounding tissues, causing gouty arthritis.
When the ankle joint is involved, there will be redness, swelling, heat and pain in the ankle joint, limitation of movement as well as oozing of fluid and then ankle joint effusion. In addition to ankle joint effusion, it also affects the toe joints, knee joints, wrist joints, elbow joints, and other joints in the hands and feet.
If you are diagnosed with gout, it is recommended that you go to the hospital and follow the doctor’s instructions.
