Hi,

Yes, that is the treatment for pseudogout. If there is excessive swelling, fluid is drained also from the joint but you might not have it and therefore, it was not advised.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care.

Regards,
Dr. Harshita, Ophthalmologist
