What Causes Severe Pain Behind Ankle And Around Achilles Despite Suffering From GOUT?
My husband has severe pain in the back of his ankle around his achilles He is prone to gout but swears this is a different kind of pain. He once went to a & e with a similar pain before and they were worried it might be a blood clot (turned out to be gout). Should we be worried this time about a blood clot?

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, if this is the gout condition then such pain is very likely but some time this may be associated with other condition too, like arthritis condition, in my opinion such pain can be managed with, 'Tab Diclofenac 50 mg once in day" hope this information helps, take care and have a nice day.
