Patient's question:
My mom has been complaining about ankle pain recently, but she hasn't twisted it. She just can't rest easy, so I took her to see an orthopedic doctor. The doctor said it's due to calcium deficiency, and the fastest way to address it is through calcium injections. They also gave her oral medication. It's a children's hospital, and I'm not too confident about it. Doctor, for women in menopause with calcium deficiency, will there be any issues after getting calcium injections and also taking oral medication?Doctor's answer:
Women in menopause are prone to experiencing osteoporosis again, as well as calcium deficiency. On the other hand, they need to take many calcium supplements orally for treatment, and also consume more calcium-rich foods in their diet. If the calcium deficiency is severe, they can also use calcium injections for regulation and treatment, which can also achieve good results.
