The risk from calcium may be very low for your kidneys, but it also probably would not be much help for your joint symptoms. The necessary balance between calcium to treat thinning bones (osteoporosis) and the kidney issue might be pretty easy. Discuss with your doctor. If your PCP seems unsure, see an internal medicine specialist. Good luck.
