How do you know which is which, are the pains different, where it hurts different??

@kjoed53 I still didn't hear from you that your uric acid level was normal. Mine is normal now. I have no arthritis pain. I went through a gallizion tests, 3 rheumatologists, 5 osteoarthritis doctors, a neurologist, 3 orthopedic surgeons....2 endocrinologists, and a few PCM doctors over 25 years. I would like to think they did a simple uric acid level test but maybe it didn't show yet, or they were looking for something else like an immune disorder. (feels the same as that).

@mrmacabre the pain came from the inflammation from gout. I have butt loads of osteoarthritis, but like the doctor said some people don’t have any pain and so I believe that the pain comes from the inflammatory reaction which is undiagnosed gout.
