Have you checked Google to learn more about the disease? I did a brief search and found that there ARE other treatments in addition to the ones you listed for pseudogout, and most people do well with these treatments.

You might want to ask your doctor if these other therapies might be a good choice for you, or maybe get a second opinion.
Good luck.
