Can gout pain be felt in the soles of the feet?
Launch
Very Well Health
, gout or gout is a type of arthritis that usually attacks one particular area or joint and causes swelling and severe pain.
This condition occurs when uric acid builds up due to excess production or the body fails to excrete it.This buildup forms crystals which can trigger arthritis attacks, and can even cause kidney stones or lumps under the skin.
Usually, gout attacks the joints of the big toe and other toes, ankles and knees.
But according to
Medical News Today
, the soles of the feet can also feel painful due to gout, especially in the heels.
The pain that occurs can be so severe that even a light touch feels painful.
Apart from pain, symptoms of gout on the soles of the feet can also be accompanied by swelling, changes in skin color, and even a hot or burning sensation.
Different pain in the soles of the feet due to gout and other causes
Many people mistakenly think that sudden pain in the soles of the feet must be due to high uric acid.In fact, gout is not the only cause of sore feet.
Pain in this area can come from various other serious medical conditions.Mistakes in guessing the cause of pain can lead to wrong treatment and worsen the condition.
One condition that is often confused with gout is pseudogout.This condition also causes joint pain due to a buildup of crystals, but these crystals come from calcium pyrophosphate, not uric acid.
Another cause that is also difficult to distinguish from gout is plantar fasciitis or inflammation of the ligaments in the soles of the feet.The difference is, plantar fasciitis only attacks the soles of the feet, while gout can affect many other joints throughout the body.
The symptoms of gout can be treated with medication, changes in diet and a healthy lifestyle.On the other hand, plantar fasciitis usually requires physical therapy and sometimes surgery if the condition is severe.
So, painful soles of the feet can indeed be a symptom of gout.However, pain in the soles of the feet can also be caused by various other conditions that need to be recognized.
If you experience sore feet, don’t jump to conclusions yourself.Consult a doctor to get the right diagnosis and appropriate treatment.
