Question: A 67-year-old man comes to the clinic with complaints of pain, redness, and swelling of his right "pointy finger" for the past day. The pain is 8/10, non-radiating, and increases in pain with the use of his right hand. The patient has not tried to treat the pain with any over-the-counter medications. His past medical history includes Type 2 diabetes mellitus, ulcer disease, and hypertension. He does not know what his current medication list consists of. The patient's vital signs are within normal limits. Physical examination shows erythema and tenderness between his second metacarpal and second proximal phalanx. Serum uric acid levels are within normal limits. Aspiration of the synovial fluid from the affected joint demonstrates monosodium rate crystals.
