Yes.

Absolutely no. It is impossible to get gout in your thigh. Gout is an accumulation of uric acid crystals in joints. Your thigh is the area between your hip and knee and is not a joint there fore it can not get gout.

Yes

Gout can affect any joint in your body. Most often it is in the feet or hands. But the crystals formed by to high a level of uric acid in your blood can penetrate any joint. Peripheral joints are most likely effected though

Definitely. People who have never personally known gout think it's something you get in your toes.
I tell them that toes are for the beginners. I have enjoyed gout flare-ups in toes, ankles, knees and
elbows, and just 3 weeks before writing this answer, I had the experience simultaneously in both
wrists and one hand ... confirmed by my rheumatologist, who painlessly extracted a bit of fluid from
each wrist, and confirmed microscopic crystals of uric acid in both of them. I wish you good luck and
a complete recovery. It aint fun, I know.
