In my opinion gout could cause swelling in toes and surrounding areas since uric acid crystals tend to move along blood flow towards lowest part of the body riding the gravity and lodge in interarticular space of the joints.

On the other hand RA (Rheumatoid Arthritis) could cause imflammatory reactions (painful swellings) in most joints since no uric acid crystals involve and body's own collagen material in interarticular surfaces is the major target of attack by one's body immune system.
