He told Bold: "I still take the medicine.
"Rheumatoid arthritis can come and go, and you don't want to risk anything.
"I stopped at one point last year and my knee raised a little.
"We are not sure that it has anything to do with it, but I am just running on the medicine now to remove the risk that something could happen."
Damsgaard also said: "I was struggling with some problems, and I talked to the physiotherapist that it was best to 'offload' the knee, and instead I had a week and a half in the strength room to see if we could get it under control."
