Only one ankle pain is not necessarily gout, but also seen in other conditions, such as long-term cold, sprain, prolonged standing, osteoarthritis, etc. During the acute attack of gout, the main clinical symptoms are redness, swelling, heat and pain of the joints and impaired movement. If ankle pain is suspected to be gout, uric acid needs to be checked, which can be elevated in gout patients. In addition to gout, ankle pain may also be caused by long-term ankle cold. Nowadays, many young people love to show their ankles in autumn and winter, causing cold, which can also lead to ankle pain at this time. In addition, the ankle joint is prone to sprains, and if the patient repeatedly sprains, it may cause traumatic arthritis of the ankle joint, which in turn leads to pain. One ankle pain may also be due to osteoarthritis or rheumatoid or rheumatoid arthritis and other diseases. Therefore, only one ankle pain is not necessarily gout, but needs to be differentiated. If the diagnosis of gout is clear, patients should try to avoid walking with weight during the period of ankle pain, elevate the affected foot to promote venous return and reduce swelling and pain, and apply non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs or colchicine and other medications as prescribed by the doctor.
