Does anyone have CPPD and osteoarthritis
I have been diagnosed with CPPD (in my right knee and hands) and osteoarthritis (in my right knee, hands, feet and probably ankles). I recently found out I also have gout in my big toe. I've been prescribed colchicine for CPPD flares but I'm having trouble deciding if my throbbing pain in my hands, toe and knee is CPPD or OA. Is there anyone out there with both CPPD and moderate OA who can help me with how to distinguish how the pain differs in CPPD and OA? Gout flares are so different and easier to distinguish. Colchicine might help reduce the joint damage from CPPD flares but won't likely help my osteoarthritis.
