Members responded to someone experiencing severe foot and toe pain by overwhelmingly suggesting it could be gout, particularly since gout is commonly associated with rheumatoid arthritis and high uric acid levels.

A recurring theme was the unpredictable nature of RA, with pain migrating to different areas without warning, and the importance of seeing a doctor for proper diagnosis since many conditions can begin in the feet.
