To Sleep, Perchance to Dream
Don't worry I don't mean that as Shakespeare intended, but it would be nice to get some sleep. My knee has been so painful of late that it has been difficult to sleep. However, at least I know what the problem is now. I had an x-ray on Tuesday and I have been told I have Psuedogout, known formally as calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate crystal deposition disease (CPPD). It means I have deposits of calcium crystals which have found their way into my soft tissue - ouch! I am being prescribed something to help with the inflammation and hopefully this will make it less painful.
