I have osteoarthritis which the rheumatologist says was triggered by my gout. In every joint where I had severe gout pain, I now have moderate arthritis pain. The gout is under control with Allopurinol, and I use OTC Aleve for the osteoarthritis pain. Have you had your Uric acid checked? If it's high, you may have gout. It's a form of arthritis and it may mimic other forms of arthritis.
