What Causes Severe Pseudogout In The Ankles,knees And Wrists?

I have been hospitalized with a severe attack of Psuedo Gout in my ankle, knee, hand and wrist. I was severely swollen and screamed if even touched. 90 cc s of fluid with calcium crystals was withdrawn from my knee. Never had it before, came on in 2 days. With fluid and IVs it resolved in 4 days. What can you tell me about this.

Hello,

Consult rheumatologist and get evaluated. As of now analgesics like Tramadol or Diclofenac can be taken for pain relief.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
