A member asked:

What are the symptoms and treatment for pseudogout? my orthopedist thinks i have it in my elbow which is severely painful to bend and straighten.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Unlikely: Peeudohout virtually never involves the elbow. See a rheumatologist. Aspiration of the joint and examination of the fluid is the only certain way to diagnose pseudogout.
