Ankle gout

Hello sufferers. I just got a possible diagnosis last week for gout in my ankle. My gout has apparently gotten worse to where I can’t walk anymore on left foot like my right does. Full meaning my left foot points out and won’t go flat on the ground until it’s a whole foot away in front of and left of the right foot. I’m only 34… and walk a lot and drink a ton of water. Next week I hope to have it xrayed.
