Well, neither the clinical presentation not the uric acid levels are typical of gout; and one may consider looking at other possibilities such as infections, inflammations, injuries, degeneration etc, as potential causes. It would be best to have this evaluated by a primary care physician or an orthopedician for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate management,
Hope this helps.
Take care!
