Peter asks:
Is there a connection between gout and arthritis?

The arthritis foundation puts gout in the arthritis category. However gout
is very different than most arthritis because we  know gout is caused by the
buildup in the joints of uric acid crystals.
My father also had gout along with osteoarthritis arthritis . Attacks always
flared up when he did not take his gout medicine to control his uric acid
level.
