Lots of symptoms all beginning with high PTH and calcium-- I think all my symptoms fit with hyperparathyroidism, but my endocrinologist does not. painful swallowing- especially saliva, pain in joints that moves around- pain started in shoulders, elbows, hands, thumbs, fingers--- started taking in more Calcium and it moved to knees, feet and hips.Severe pain-- was needing advil every 4 hours to function. Sleep is disturbed only by pain-

hi
i have full sympathy with you .but having said that to confirm hyperparathyroidism you should have raised PTH level,do you have that?
as far as your problem is concerned my advice would be regular physical excercises,diet rich in calcium and vitamin D may help you along with advil.may i know do you have any swelling in joints with difficulty in getting out from bed,especially in the morning.what about your serum RA FACTOR,serum uric acid report,do share.
take care
