Pseudogout and joint replacement

Posted , 3 users are following.

Has anyone had a joint replacement on a body part affected by pseudogout? Suggestion that I have my knee replaced, but am very concerned how I would do the exercises to heal it with the inflammation and pain.

    If your pain is within the replacement joint I doubt if it could be due to your gout

    Carry on doing your exercises.

    How old is your replacement joint?

      The knee has not been replaced, that is what is being suggested. The knee is my most affected joint with pseudogout. Hence concern that I won't be able to do the exercises.

    Should you have the replacement, perseverance is the answer to recovery.
