In reply to intramuscular calcium injections, posted by greenwillow on October 31, 2004, at 16:29:40
> Has anyone here had intramuscular calcium injections? I used to get them about 20 years ago when my kids were babies and I was nursing and totally worn out, and I feel like they would be helpful again, as it has been determined that I have calcium malabsorption. I now live in a different part of the country and so far the doctors I have talked to do not do that. I remember the old doctor used to combine two things, perhaps it was calcium and magnesium, not certain, but I need to try to figure that out. Once he gave me an injection of straight calcium, and it was not nearly as helpful. One time another doctor gave me calcium-magnesium intervenously, and I ended up with kidney stones soon after. Just wondering if other people have had the intramuscular injection, what the components were, and how you responded. Thanks.
How is it that you know you have calcium malabsorption? Did you have your parathyroid hormone and calciferol and 25[OH]D3 levels checked?
