I don't think gout is responsible for the pain you are experiencing on the right side of your body. It seems like that is nerve-related. However, my gout "flares" have only affected joints on my left side, and now that I have regular gout, it affects my most arthritic joints but seems to create an inflammatory immune response throughout my entire body. It's also hereditary, so if someone in your family has it, it would be something to look at. Good luck!
