Calcium deposits, known as calcinosis, form in the soft tissues of the body. The resulting calcification leads to years of swollen limbs and pain. The pain is the result of joint swelling and inflammation. The cause of calcinosis is unknown. It is not recommended that you reduce your calcium intake. Calcium is taken from the bones, causing them to weaken over time, if the body's required intake is not met through diet. Inflammation and pain that occurs, for example, in the shoulder's rotator cuff is referred to as calcific tendonitis. When a flare-up of pain occurs, it becomes difficult to move the shoulder. Range-of-motion exercises help provide temporary relief from pain, but remember that there is no known procedure for eliminating calcium deposits.
Instructions
The Process
1. For joint pain in the neck, turn your head slowly, as far as you can to the right, and then turn your head to the left.
2. For pain in the arms, sit in a chair and place your hands in your lap with your palms up. Move your fingers in toward your palms, and then move them outward.
3. Continue the exercise by bending your arm at the elbow and bring the fingers of your hand to your shoulder. With your fingers on your shoulders and elbows bent, make circular motions with your elbows.
4. Stretch your hands upwards toward the ceiling as high as you are able. Bring your hands down and return your arms in a folded position to your lap.
5. Remain seated and place your hands on your waist and gently tilt your body to the right as far as you can, then tilt to the left.
6. Place your hands on your hips and gently move your hips from the right to the left.
7. Return your body to a resting position and use the ice to rub down any area that may be feeling pain or irritated.
