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.
