I'm a CPPD patient not a medical student, but this video was very helpful in understanding my situation. I'm definitely in the acute category with CPPD symptoms in my shoulders, wrists, fingers and right foot. Until I viewed this video, I thought my foot might be a separate issue, but the CPPD symptoms occur there too. I believe I now have some fresh information to take back to my rheumatologist for discussion when we next meet. Thanks very much!
This is very well described in the book "What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Fibromyalgia" by St.Amand and Marek, 1999. It is caused by inability to excrete phosphate by the kidney leading to buildup and accumulation. Treated with guaifenesin to open up the tubules. Worked for me.
Constitutional symptoms such as fever have been reported and The vigorous inflammation attacks that occur can last weeks to months whereas in go it is typically days to weeks flares can be poly articular as in OA could look just like RA on some occasions especially when affecting the flanges of the hand and wrist x-ray of neck or CT can show calcium deposit can look much like angina severe damage can look like charcoal joints asymptomatic Condro calcinosis discovered incidentally OA found in unusual places should raise suspicion the diagnostic criteria aren't clear but typically one of two is probable and two of two is definitive the two be in observable signs on x-ray as well as tangible evidence from fluid draw in a joint upon positron light spectrum aspirate the deposited crystals from the synovial fluid polarize light microscopy x-ray evidence of Condro calcinosis not as easy to control acute episodes as is gout medication's used for RA such as hydrochloric Quinn rheumatoid like picture
Hi everyone, please be in mind previously OA traumatic spine and joints will significantly deteriorate with flares. Contact me for alternative treatments. Take care and I might produce a video soon.

Would the xray have to be taken when you have the flare up? Or can it be taken anytime and it would show the crystals.
