Chondrocalcinosis (pseudogout) of the knee.

[LennyG]

I have been diagnosed with chondrocalcinosis of the knee. A search of the literature seems to yield only one study which offered some hope of improvement of the condition. A study using a pulsed ultrasound showed some improvement in the condition after 6 weeks and a more definite improvement resulting in a marked decrease in calcium crystal deposits after 6 months. Does anyone have any experience using this treatment modality, or any other treatment that you might have found successful?

Although, the treatment depends on the degree of involvement. And if you're improving with this treatment procedure then why look for any other treatment.
