[|Human|] i have foot pain that started as gout but now my doctor says it is arithritis. this started in may this year. the pain travels around both my feet; sometimes on one foot sometimes on both and when it is the ankles, normally both ankles hurt. the pain is also inconsistent.
[|AI|]  HelloFresh pain may be due to many reasons like gout, arthritis, calcaneal spur etc. You may need clinical correlation and X-ray of both calcaneus in lateral view. X-ray of both feet (AP view)should also be taken. You may need clinical correlation and investigations. You may need routine hologram, random blood sugar, serum uric acid, RA factor, HsCRP etc. Treatment depend upon underlying cause. Calcaneal spur treated by analgesics, soft sleeper, alternate cold and hot water treatment. If arthritis is confirmed the may need specific medicines for arthritis. If gouty arthritis is confirmed then you may need uricosuric medicines. Take Care, Chat Doctor.
