[|Human|] Have right foot pain for approximately two weeks, on 2/28 my foot pain woke me in the middle of the night. My foot was very swollen and tender to the touch. Went to the ER, doctor diagnosed me as having Gout, took my blood and wrote me a prescription for indomethacin. At my follow up visit with my regular doctor, she said no way gout , blood is below the range and u don t fall in usual gout criteria. Took X-rays of the foot, no broken bones. Now is sending me to podiatrist, what is wrong with it?
[|AI|]  Hello, Did you have a history of trauma, fall, or long walking or running lately? From the information you gave, the first diagnosis that comes in my mind is arthritis of the foot bones, could be mid-foot, forefoot or hind foot. Normally, in the x-ray that you did arthritis should have been visible. The second option is stress fracture of foot bones, but only if you had prolonged walking or running recently. This cannot be seen on x-ray, but only on bone CT scan or scenography. There is even more rare disease such as infection or tumors that need to be distinguished. Maybe the podiatrist will order these examinations and blood work for you to diagnose and treat your condition. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
