newly diagnosed crystal/phseudogout arthritis

apy

hi, I had all the symptoms of RA, but with negative blood results, and my consultant diagnosed crystal/phseudogout, and prescribed a slow release steriod. It has been nearly a week, and the swelling has subsided, but the stiffness and pain remain ..

if there anyone that has had this type of arthritis that can share with me?
