    Other joint symptoms other than sporadic flares. I do suffer with fatigue alot. I came across cpdd today on a website and this seems to describe my symptoms 100%. The flareups i suffer cripple me the pain is undescribable to the point i could hack my own limb off. The only relief is to have the joint aspirated. Just wondered if anyone else experienced these symptoms or suffers with cpdd that i could possibly talk to. I have also noticed my flares are worse
