Lightbulb gout and pseudogout...

These both attack joints.

In gout, it is uric acid.

In pseudogout it is calcium:

Allopurinol only works on uric acid.

Are you taking Fosamax or Actonel? It has been shown that these drugs for
osteoporosis, actually cause PAIN... that is something to think about also.
