Admin Michelle Young Posted 20 April Admin Share Posted 20 April Welcome to the forum. I reckon it says Chronic (Synovitis) I’m not 100% re the second word. @Dai Bach y Sowldiwr can you assist please? Synovitis is a chronic knee pain condition that involves inflammation or irritation within the synovium. Synovitis is swelling of this internal knee structure to any degree caused by the joint overproducing synovial fluid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dai Bach y Sowldiwr Posted 20 April Share Posted 20 April @Michelle Young Indeed it says Chronic Synovitis. Could be caused by all manner of conditions from inflamatory diseases like Rheumatoid Arthrtis, to infections like Rheumatic Fever, septic arthrtis or even gonorrhoea. Unless it's documented elsewhere, attributing the cause will be speculative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TB was almost endemic in the U.K. in the decades post war. TB was a bacterial disease but lungs damaged by exposure to chemical weapons may have made an individual more vulnerable. There have been a number of threads on the GWF on this topic. The general consensus appears to be ‘not proven’. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aconnolly Posted 21 April Share Posted 21 April There are case reports of TB causing joint disease - rare, but possible. Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
