A member asked:
My mom is 48 and her waist, knees and ankles pain a lot. does she need calcium supplements?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
She may: If she is low in calcium but i don't think calcium supplements will necessarily do anything for joint pain. Let her see a rheumatologist or orthopedist.
