Calcium injection aids knee functionTotal Knee Conversion Rates and Functional Outcome After Calcium Phosphate Injection for Bone Marrow Lesions of the Knee.
Highly relevant for knee pain
We explored how calcium phosphate (CaP) injections impact knee pain, particularly in patients suffering from osteoarthritis-related bone marrow lesions (OA-BML). In this study, we compared two groups of patients: those who received knee arthroscopy combined with CaP injections and those who had knee arthroscopy for different knee issues.
Our observations showed that patients receiving the CaP injections experienced less frequent conversions to total knee arthroplasty (TKA) when compared to the other group. Notably, within the CaP group, we noticed a significant improvement in their knee injury and functional outcome scores before and after the procedure. However, patients who only underwent knee arthroscopy did not show the same level of improvement.
Overall, we found that adding CaP injections during knee surgery for OA-BML significantly enhanced functional outcomes over traditional surgery alone. This study underscores the potential benefits of CaP treatments in managing knee pain and improving quality of life for those suffering from knee OA.

Calcium does not enhance PRPIs There a Need for an Exogenous Activator Along with PRP for Early Knee Osteoarthritis? A Triple-Blinded Randomized Control Trial.
Limited impact of calcium treatment
We explored the role of calcium gluconate as an activator alongside platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections for patients dealing with early knee osteoarthritis. In this study, participants were split into two groups: one received PRP alone, while the other got PRP mixed with calcium gluconate.
Both groups were evaluated over six months for pain relief and overall satisfaction. Interestingly, despite a noticeable decrease in pain and improvement in overall function in both groups, we found no significant differences when comparing the effectiveness of the two treatments.
This led us to conclude that adding calcium gluconate might not provide any extra benefit to PRP injections in managing knee pain for early-stage osteoarthritis, which is quite important for patients considering their treatment options.

I got this calcium supplement for my aunt as prescribed by her doctor due to her deficiency. It has benefitted her bone health and improved her joint pain. The quality is good for the price compared to local stores, although the pills are a bit large and taste salty.
After using this product, I no longer feel pain in my joints and muscles. The packaging is very good.
I bought this because my bones hurt, but after a few days of use, my back pain has reduced.
Recently, I experienced pain in my feet. My doctor advised a course of calcium and vitamin D3. After two weeks of taking it, I noticed improvements. I take two calcium tablets with my lunch.
Thank you, Ayherb! This is my second purchase. Excellent calcium; my knee pain has almost stopped! After suffering for five years, this product has worked wonders. I’ve ordered a second jar just in case. I’ve felt slightly nauseous after taking it, but I manage by taking it at night.
