newly diagnosed crystal/phseudogout arthritis
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?

hi. Yes I was diagnosed with CPPD 4 or 5 months ago. It has come as a shock and difficult to comprehend. It seems I have other issues with my knees too but the CPPD is my main concern. I’ve had steroid injection in my knee which had helped a bit but I’m still new to this. Remo.
