Knees causing trouble again? This time, it is not gout, but an imposter known as pseudogout. Now what is pseudogout, you ask? Think of it as gout’s mischievous twin. Like gout, it triggers sudden knee pain and inflammation, but instead of uric acid crystals, it is calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate (CPPD) crystals in your joints.

The symptoms are similar to gout, swelling, redness and pain, often in the knees, ankles or wrists. To diagnose pseudogout, you’ll do some blood work to check for uric acid and X-rays and joint fluid analysis will help identify the culprit. Some treatments are rest, ice and anti-inflammatory medications.

Join Dr. Niket Sonpal as he spreads awareness about this lesser-known joint troublemaker.
