One leg is little thicker than other
I had severe swelling in my right ankle 5 months back. There was severe pain and difficulty in walking was also there for few days. When I press on the swelling there used to be a dent also. Previously I had high uric acid levels with were ranging from 9 to 8. That time X ray of ankle was normal. KFT and LFT were also normal, uric acid was also under normal limits. Have used fubuxostat for few days. It got reduced after around 2 weeks, but still below calf it appears that my right leg from knee is little larger than left but it can be observed only with careful observation and look closely. Ankle part also little bigger compared to the left. Now also sometimes I see little pain and burning like sensation below knee especially around the ankle. Does gout cause this change in leg shape. Worried about DVT, if it is will it reduce in 2 weeks? No marks on skin. Will it be there for 5 months? Please advise

Since you have a history of high uric acid levels , gout flare ups can also produce these symptoms. Consult a rheumatologist for further evaluation.
Next Steps
Consult a physician with repeated RFT . For ruling out other causes of pitting edema , can take colour Doppler of the affected part as it will differentiate DVT , arterial causes .

Please get an X ray of your ankle joint and consult an Orthopedic surgeon in your area for a physical examination.
For all you know it could have been a fracture which you sustained 5 months ago.

If the pain is getting aggravated while walking and after it gets reduced after rest then you should go arterial- venous colour Doppler.
