When bad it can be in both feet. Depends on the circulation of the person and other factors.
I've seen a few people with white deposits along tendons, in the hands even. One fellow said he had attacks every time he was sick with a cold etc. When white cells are destroyed during infections or after infections, they release lots of purines.
Some people with high uric acid don't get attacks and others with less high levels may have lots of attacks.
The long term use of that HCTZ tends to create gout. My mother had spells of it from the same drug, many years ago.
And yes, I would think some other general tests should be done.
EM can come from a condition which has too many platelets in the blood. The platelets clog up the little blood vessels etc.
