What Does My X-ray Report Indicate?

Posted on Tue, 10 Oct 2017

Question: I am still having problems. I went to my Primary and after taking an x-ray I was told that I had calcium deposit on the tendons and ligaments. I was given Meds that
I stopped taking after reading the enclosed ligature with the Meds. The Medication is diclofena Sodium Topical Gel 1 Percent. I am 73 and have PAD. The Pad is checked annually by the
Vascular clinic in XXXXXXX Fl. I was doing good with no changes at all in February. However, I do not like doing anything that would make things worse with the Vascular system or the Heart.
Heart disease runs in my Family.

Any suggestions?
Sorry for the answer delay. Just received my Utilities back after the Hurricane.

Thank you for your Concern..

Hello

After going through the medical details provided by you i would like to tell you that topical diclofenac sodium in 1% concentration is very mild and will not cause you any trouble.

So if you are experiencing pain you can use it otherwise just hot water fomentation will be helpful.

I hope this information will be helpful.

Kind Regards
