Gout

I have been diagnosed with RA and gout because my bloods showed high RF and urate levels. I have also had ultra sound and isotrope bone scans. I have always had OA but since Jan this year I started with mild psoriasis and new joint swellings and lumps and bumps. I thought I must have Psoriatic arthritis and blamed the Covid booster vaccine I had in Dec 2021.

I wonder if anyone else started gout after covid vaccines (I am not having any more).

One other thing with the gout is that although my finger and toe joints sometimes look red I don't get a lot of pain. What pain there is, is random, shortlived and can occur anywhere. The pain is pretty intense but short lived - luckily. I don't take any meds.

TIA
