is it likely that what I think is a stress fracture in my lower ankle is actually gout?

6 weeks ago, I developed a pinch-like pain in my inside ankle. I stopped running since I thought it was a stress fracture. I tried running half a mile yesterday but I could tell things were still not quite right.

.Now I’m thinking maybe it’s gout. I have had gout for a few years, take medication daily for it, but I’m wondering if what i have in my ankle is actually a long-lasting slight bout of gout and not a stress fracture.
