spot gout
Bob--I am starting to conclude we can have gout attacks
in just about any spot where there is a bone. I get a
hot spot which is very painful on the front of one of
my knee caps--not in the knee joint, but on the front
of the cap. I also have had several attacks lately on
the back of one of my heels in the Achilles tendon area-
-not in a joint.
Ah, that's interesting, RB. I didn't realize gout was sneaky enough
to strike in the middle of bones! I've heard of "referred Pain"
where the pain follows a nerve, & can turn up in a different place
from its source. Did you get swelling at the pain site in the middle
of the kneecap too? Brenda
