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

Answer 3

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.
