CPPD disease, however, can mimic rheumatoid arthritis or polymyalgia rheumatica, and patients may present with symmetrical joint involvement. [bpac.org.nz]
The presenting symptoms are similar to both gout and septic arthritis but may be treated differently. This article describes a typical patient presentation and management from an emergency medicine and orthopedic surgery standpoint. [journals.lww.com]

- Arthralgia
In addition, induction of transient arthralgias in some patients is a well-recognized adverse effect of MTX [18], which could have further obscured a potential beneficial effect. [arthritis-research.biomedcentral.com]
The most frequently reported adverse effects are diarrhea, back pain, headaches, and arthralgias. Also, patients should be monitored for thromboembolic events and increased hepatic transaminases. [clevelandclinicmeded.com]

Treatment
Recommendations for the management of CPPD disease tend to be based on expert opinion or extrapolated from research on the treatment of gout.15 Treatment of an acute attack Treatments to reduce the pain and swelling associated with an acute attack of [bpac.org.nz]
CPPD with OA should be managed as primary OA, by a combination of non-pharmacological and pharmacological treatments (analgesics, NSAIDs). To date, there are no effective treatments capable of dissolving calcium deposits. [orpha.net]
His main research interests are osteoarthritis (OA), treatment strategies in rheumatoid arthritis and glucocorticoids. [books.google.de]
Treatment may involve removing fluid to relieve pressure in the joint. [healthing.ca]
Treatment of pseudogout attacks is with intra-articular corticosteroids or oral glucocorticoids, NSAIDs, or colchicine. [merckmanuals.com]
