I'll have to google that , I haven't stubbed it ever that I can recall. If it's gout it must be a mild case. I just had an "event" last night so it's fresh on my mind , was watching tv and talking to my bride and bang it hit , stabbing pain for just a couple seconds , then it went away for maybe 5-10 seconds then repeat same intervals 5 or 6 times and it was gone. Pain so intense that It dropped me from a sitting position on the couch to laying position . I don't over react to pain but this was short term scale 10 that made me holler aaaaawwww. a minute later I was laughing about it.
If it's short-term, as on the order of minutes, it probably isn't gout and might be this neuropathy thing. Gout pain usually lasts for a day or 10. I've been mostly gout free since I started allopurinol around 14 years ago.
