No: No, the development of degenerative arthritis has not really been linked to calcium intake or as a side effect of taking magnesium citrate. I would probably start with a visit to your primary care doctor for a good checkup, with possibly a consult with a rheumatologist if warranted.

Absolutely not: There is no correlation between calcium intake and arthritic changes that is the wipes too. If you're worried about your calcium intake you should be taking twice the dose that you are taking.
