A member asked:

Do you handle calcium deposits around the hip?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

yes I do : Some times a cortisone injection is helpful in general i would stay away from any calcium supplement except calcium citrate which should not increase the risk of kidney stones or heterotopic calcifications.
