Could I possibly have gout?

Could I possibly have gout?Just recently, my pinky finger, middle finger and index finger have all become slightly swollen, and hurt when I bend them, though my thumb and ring finger are just fine. Would it be possible to have gout at age 16, and if this isn't gout, what can it be?

Hi B,

It is definitely NOT gout. By definition gout affects the big toe only. Your are only 16. Arthritis is out too. Minor strain is most likely.
