There are many things that can cause an increase in uric acid, and some of them, like genetic over-production or under-excretion, are not age dependent. It is quite unusual to only get gout in the knee, and quite unusual to get relief simply from drawing fluid (unless the specialist injected pain relief at the same time. The proof is in the fluid that was drawn from your knee. Has this been analyzed?

The First time I thought I pulled a muscle and this time the I went to a specialist and he just stuck a needle in my knee and drew out the fluid. I immediately felt better and it has been fine for the last week. I really don't mind the needle as I don't feel it. It's the only place I get it. Is it normal for a 35 year old to get Gout?
