Answer B. Gouty arthritis--.Synovial fluid analysis shows uric acid crystals. (A prescription medicine called colchicine helps reduce pain, swelling, and inflammation associated with acute gout attacks. The medication decreases the inflammation caused by uric acid crystals within the joint. It does not decrease the uric acid levels in the bloodstream.)

Dr. Lozano would say it is Gout. Well, maybe Pacheco would. One of them.

Crystals in tissue are gout or pseudogout. This is gout because they are fine crystals (needle-shaped); large (rhomboid) crystals are pseudogout
