Gout stones can grow on the back of the feet. Gout is a metabolic disease characterized by redness, swelling, heat and pain in the joints, while gout stones, also called gouty nodules, are crystals formed by the aggregation of monosodium glutamate urate under the skin. Gout stones usually involve the toe joints, heels, insteps, ankles, elbows, wrists, knees and the first metatarsophalangeal joints on the backs of the hands, so gout stones occur on the backs of the feet. Patients with gout stones on the dorsum of the feet need to rest, wear loose and comfortable shoes, reduce the amount of activity and elevate the affected foot as much as possible, and usually pay attention to eating less purine-rich food. Patients with gout stones on the back of the feet are advised to go to the rheumatology and immunology department of a regular hospital in a timely manner and follow the doctor’s instructions for standardized treatment.
