Can anyone help me with treatment options for pseudogout? After a pretty severe knee injury, my husband has been suffering from this for several years and we would like any treatment ideas that you may have. Thank you.

Pseudogout, knee pain.

I have pseudogout in both knees for about 24yrs since I was 22. Painful, swollen, and inflamed. Not from injury.
I canot find any remedy. These do not work- Glucosamine sulphate, chondroitin, msm, bromelain, vit D.
What helps a little is Ibuprofen, and rest.
Doctors do not know the cause, so do not know the cure.
Has anyone found something that works ??
THKS.
