Yes when calcium goes high it can be from parathyroid gland long time ago I worked in surgery and one of the general surgeons took out bits of the gland and put them in an arm. They may not need to do that now. Lots of blood tests. ♥️♥️♥️I hope you are feeling alright giving prayers for you

Well you prep the arm to the hand and turn it over make an incision drop the parathyroid gland in there and sew it up. I should have researched it. So you do have hyper parathyroid well the docs will take care blessings to you.
