Hi
I was having flare up since two years in first fingers of both hands but not symmetric. Sometimes one knee was involved. L
this yeat beginning had severe pain in wrist..again not symmetric. Uric acid level was above 6.3.
When I had mri swelling in wrist came..slight bone erosion.
Initially two drs diagnosed as RA but later a sr dr is in opinion it is pseudogout
now I am on febuxostat 40 mg
in 4 weeks uric acid level is 2.4
Now I am having intense pain in shoulers..despite colchicine and pain killer.
has anybody experienced gout only in knee..fingure and shoulder?
After staring febuxostat I am only being troubled with shoulder pain.thay too without swelling

I don't know much about pseudogout except that it comes on slowly and •tends• to hit the knees.
However with your blood urate down to 2.5 if it were gout (and I suspect pseudo is the same), the presipitates in the joints and tissues, this will now come out of those deposits and ... cause gout. This could carry on for a year or so until all the rubbish is removed from your system.
Colchicine helps during this cleansing period to reduce the inflammatory response - as long as you can handle it (some people it is a problem for their intestines), it's better than just pain killers.

I think its tissue deposit which actually is leading to some burning sensation while cryst tals dissolve
colchicine is ok fr. me well tolerated.
