Have a query?

I'm experiencing pain in my ankle joint due to gout, with a recent uric acid level of 11.4.

Asked by Female, 55 ยท 19 days ago

Ankle pain accompanied by a uric acid level of 11.4 is indicative of a gout flare-up that requires immediate treatment with NSAIDs, corticosteroids, or colchicine to alleviate pain and inflammation. In order to prevent repeat episodes, you should also follow dietary guidelines and begin or modify uric acid-lowering medication under your doctor's supervision.

Gout is a type of arthritis caused by high levels of uric acid in the blood, which can form crystals in joints and cause pain. Since you have pain in your ankle and a high uric acid level (11.4), these could be signs of gout. Common symptoms include:

  • Sudden, intense joint pain, often starting at night, frequently affecting the big toe but can involve the ankle or other joints.
  • Swelling and redness around the affected joint.
  • Warmth and tenderness in the joint area.
  • Limited range of motion due to pain and swelling.

If you are experiencing these symptoms, it is important to see a rheumatologist or an orthopedic specialist for proper diagnosis and treatment. Managing uric acid levels and addressing inflammation can help relieve symptoms and prevent future attacks.
