Male panther chameleon odd rear legs

Hello,
Recently noticed his knees look oddly shaped. Like ball shaped will post a photo. His setup is pretty basic for now. 18"18"36" tall enclosure. Arcadia 6% uvb an basking Temps 85-86. Cool end bottom is mostly room temps an around 66 degrees. I have a mistking going off every 2 hours for 30 seconds. With nighttime have a defuser without oil on top of enclosure. So fog goes down into the enclosure. With a humidifier running in the room as well for my all my chameleons. I have the window plastic kit on back an both sides of enclosure for humidity.
He's mostly eating crickets an hornworms sometimes doesn't seem interested in them. This afternoon he was eating crickets maybe 6-8 medium sized ones.
I use rapashy calcium every feeding an vitamin one twice a month. Will use the vitamin one first of this month.
Took some photos of him an enclosure. Just seeing if I can make any improvements get some weight on him.
Can take any photos tomorrow if recommended. Just overviewing his enclosure an setup. Before I get him to the vet next month. Maybe sooner if this knee problem is something to be aware of.

Hi. That looks a bit like gout. Can you post pics of which supplements you’re using?
Also, you need to let his enclosure dry out between mistings. A better schedule would be to mist for at least 2 minutes just before lights go on, one at mid day and another right before lights out. To boost humidity at night, you could also add in a couple of quick 15 second mistings.

Is gout treatable? I'll do this with misting for now on.
