Pseudogout, like…: Gout is crystal deposition disease, usually in knee. Preventive rx is Colchicine (has many side effects that need to be discussed with fp/rheumatologist). Disease can be associated with hemochromatosis, hyperpara-thyroidism, hypophosphatasia, hypomag-nesemia, gitelman's syndrome; so managing these conditions may help prevent pseudogout attacks.
