Abnormally increased tendency of body to calcify. I nteresting point, but haven't found anything substantive, thus far.

My story, like yours, could simply be a random point ...

Tough life with damage to right foot and both hips:
- right foot has been worked on several times over the past 25 years to remove significant calcification around big toe joint (hallux rigidus)
- both hips damaged (slid off a couple of wings and down aircraft ladders in high winds) and as normal, the damaged areas increased calcification as bones do; then first hip replaced in 2000, with second in 2019

So, maybe something there, there ... 🙂

The idea was told to me by a (non-cardiologist) doctor who knows one of the top cardiologists in NYC. His description to me was fuzzy and non-specific and like you I haven't been able to really find anything online that would fit with it. So who knows. This doctor also got me an appointment with this cardiologist later this week to consult on the situation. Given his credentials and particular expertise in imaging and risk stratification, I'm hopeful it will be a valuable session.

Also tomorrow morning I am going in to have a CT Angiogram.

I really do appreciate the back and forth on here. This has been very difficult for me to deal with, as I'm sure it is for many here.
