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
