can gout cause your foot to swell on the top?

Yes, it can cause your whole foot to swell.

yes the doctor says the crystals that your body is retaining can get under your skin not just in the joints.

yes!
trust me!
it can make your whole foot swell so you can't even put on your socks or shoes!
VERY PAINFUL!
the only way to have it not happen is to cut down on drinking and rich foods that contain high amount of uric acid...alcohol causes gout by not allowing uric acid to leave your body...ever drink and you pee is clear?
the uric acid then crystalizes in your joints

yes, it can - there is also a 'fake' gout - it is a syndrome that mimics the symptoms of gout but is not really gout - my husband has it and it causes significant swelling of the foot and ankle area.

Yes, the crystals can form anywhere in your foot or ankle.
