What are calcium deposits for arthritis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Chondrocalcinosis!: Calcium deposits occuring in cartilage can cause a painful inflammatory condition called pseudogout. Treatment is variable, but Colchicine can help. Calcium deposits can occur in inflammatory bursitis and other conditions. See a rheumatology specialist or an orthopedic surgeon.
