This is too weird!

Well, it's still going on!

I can't believe this! It's like an answer to my prayers!

I've always had stiffness in my back with sudden shocks of pain hitting me without notice from my car accident 15 years ago. I was told by a doctor 7 years ago that I had OA and was to accept occasional pain. The last seven months I've been in constant pain from morning to night (ranging from 3-10 at any moment). I was getting frantic and was afraid my OA was getting worse.

Well,  the other day my mother mentioned that she takes calcium for her bone loss and suggested that I take it. I thought... it couldn't hurt and it might prevent trouble in the future.

I started taking 1200mg w/ D on Sunday.

 I woke Tuesday with no pain! Wednesday came... no pain! I said, this is too good to be true! Thursday- no pain! Today- still no pain!

Has anybody heard of pain in the back being helped by Calcium?

This is just so odd! But I'm not going to fight it!

Hey, I was just researching my situation. And I found this mentioned in a medical article.

Early symptoms of low serum calcium include frequent muscle cramps and joint pains. In addition to this, inability to perform tiresome activities, fatigue, brittle nails, and yellowness of teeth also occur as a result of abnormally low level of calcium in the blood stream.

That's me!!

Wow!   I may have just found a cure!

I hope this info helps someone else.

Couchtater,

The sad and wonderful thing is that what works for one does not always work for the other!  There are many supplements, treatments and modalities available to try!

You found your MIRACLE....great news to hear and so happy for you!!

ENJOY!

I still have some mild stiffness from the OA,  but the mysterious back spasms I woke up with everyday, which clung on all day long for seven months is gone.

I'm beginning believe the pains came from an another condition I developed around the same time: Hypothyroidism.

I found out that Hypothyroidism can cause joint pains and muscle spasms.

I also found out the medication for it and the medication I take for my GERD can seriously deplete my calcium levels. I believe that is why when I started taking the calcium supplement my pains vanished.
