It is another type of inflammatory arthritis and it is similar to gout. In this kind
of arthritis crystals are formed in the joint. Unlike gout where crystals
formation happens due to uric acid, in this case they are formed with the help
of a salt that is known as calcium pyrophosphate dehydrate (CPPD). This build
up of the crystals are actually swelling that happens in knees, wrists, ankles
and other joints. The major symptoms of this problem include joint pain and
