What is Pseudogout

What is pseudogout: how does it presents, how do we diagnose it and how we treat it?
I find myself making a diagnosis of pseudogout quite often in my rheumatology practice. Patients and sometimes, their health care professionals, do not know much about it. In this episode we review what pseudogout is and the goal of treatments.

Merci for your explanation of pseudo gout. My mom was diagnosed with it few days ago so I am studying what can be done and found your informative video.

Very painful flairs. Im 52 male that i was active but seems heavy activities brings on flairs . I have subscribed hydroxy chroline( pardone it spelling) It was helping since subscription about 6 months ago. But know having bad flairs again.

I recently experienced a bout of Pseudogout about four weeks after having knee surgery for a partially torn medial meniscus. The pain and swelling was swift and excruciating that lasted for 9 days. The only medicine that helped with the pain was morphine which was given me after visiting emergency at the hospital. The bed part was that my surgeon and primary care physician only provided theories as to the causes and that to date there was no known medication for this condition. Yes, I am over 70 and have been active all my life in athletics, etc. there just isn’t enough research on this condition. By the way, I am not heavy as I weigh 149 lbs at 5’7”. Any more ideas on your part? thank you.

Have you been checked for Iron Overload or Hereditary Hemochromatosis? Get your ferritin level checked. Hereditary Hemochromatosis can cause pseudogout.

I get up with pain. It still hurts when I bend it or I don't. When I lay down it hurts to lay on the effective knee. I don't know why it hurts and gets stiff when I stand or sit. I use I ice I use nsaids and I do pt. I have had it drained helped. Still nothing is helping
