Gout is one of the top misconceptions that are associated with Bunions. Often one ailment is a self diagnosed in place of the other. It is understandable as to why that happens, though! Upon physical inspection, many symptoms of bunions match with the Gout. Along with that, while diagnosing Gout is not your first thought as it is not so common. Other conditions like Bursitis and osteoarthritis take place at the front of your mind. It would not be wrong to say that Gout causes Bunions, but the probability of that happening is very low. Mostly Gout and Bunions are two separate things with similarities that get tangled. Gout is not specifically a foot deformity, but its effect on the joints causes inflammation that matches the Bunions
