Calcium deposit

0 Recommendations

on my left forearm needs to be gone its hurting pretty bad for the past few days. I was supose to have it taken off back in the summer time but I decided to wait. Also my elbow is hurting like I have a pinch nerve or something. I notice it more when I have my arm on the chair. I have to move it and not let the deposit or the elbow touch anything.

I have been tired and just hanging out at home lately. the weather is colder so I stay in. Decided not to get the flu shot well the H1N1 one. I need the other one but they are out of them. My hubby went to work and he was up all night getting sick . I can't beleive he went but he text me a bit ago and is coming home after 11:00. I hope he feels better soon. I have to stay away from him I don't want what he has.

I have my newsletter done for the Toledo Support group and its out in the mail today. So if you would like one let me know I can email it to you today.
Well all I am gonna get going hope all is well. Hugs, Sam

hello SamDeTray-1, I have a calcium deposit on my left forearm also and it has caused me a great deal of pain over the past 6 months or more. I also have weakness and have lost some range of motion. I've had to rely on pain medication on a regular basis or it's intolerable. I hope you will find some relief for your pain because I know it's tough. Hopefully I will get some help from the Scleroderma Center in Baltimore, I have an appointment on Nov. 17th. Wish me luck! Take care.

Besh61,

I went to the Sclero Ctr in Baltimore and they are terrific, they saved my life I swear!!! good luck with your appt!
