That's where my bunions, plantar plates and LCL's in the foot came in to play. While my primary care doctor and podiatrist both say I have symptoms of gout, all I know is since my surgeries on my foot earlier this year, there has not been a single flare up in my foot or toes.  It was almost two years of constant pain to isolate root cause and finally do the foot surgery. 
Basically a bunion angles your big toe inward and that pushes your other toes outward.  That misalignment puts strain on the ligaments connecting your toes to your feet and on your plantar plates on the pad of your foot.  Do enough repetitive work on them and you can cause strains or tears which causes flare ups.

It took me waiting for a flare up and getting an MRI done at that time to see the extent of the damage on my feet/toes.
