Hi, I dont have them too bad, mostly i can feel them under my skin. I now have one working its way through my thumb (my profile pic shows the last one) and its a bit sore although not painful. I do feel like cutting it out though! Someone on this forum suggested pawpaw cream as a very good natural treatment, and i,m meaning to get some soon.

yes i have a large mass of calcium on my elbow, it really gives me no end of grief,i have it going down my forearm and is just getting bigger all the time, 2 fingers have it one on the tip the other on the inside knuckle,and the inside knuckle of my thumb, i also have a large mass in the soft tissue at the top of my leg, all this is on the left side,, i have had it removed from my right shoulder but my new consultant said they don't like to remove it as it comes back,,,, maybe she should try to live with it,,,, it pushes through my skin on my elbow and finger tip and is extremely painful and forever being inflamed
