Tendonitis

Hi all,

I had a scan back in March due to throbbing aching shoulder especially at night and they found a large calcium deposit. Now my other shoulder is doing the same and the pain is bad.

I have been reading and it’s common to have high levels of calcium in the blood possibly caused by the parathyroid gland? Does anyone have any experience or think it could be related?

Thanks

Ali

there

Are you currently taking any vitamin D supplements

If so are you also taking vitamin K2

When were vitamin D levels last tested

What was vitamin D level?

Taking vitamin D will increase levels of calcium in blood

Vitamin K2 helps direct this calcium into bones

Vitamin K2 mk7

With your Vit D, it's important to take cofactors - magnesium and Vit K2-MK7

Magnesium best taken in the afternoon or evening, but must be four hours away from levothyroxine

Taking too much vitamin D is not a good idea
