Let's see 5 years ago he started on Crestor 2 years after that he needed a hip replacement! HMM!!! think theres a connection here.
He dosen't say what other types of meds he's taking other then asprin? Perhaps they where shooting him with something like humara or other osteo drugs and perhaps Calcium supps. and big doses of Vitamin D. Maybe even GERD MEDS That lower the stomachs acid levels.
Or if you really want to mess up your arteries with calcium, metoclopramide!!
Calcium build up and bone work or tooth extractions seem also to go hand and hand.
Has he had blood work to show what kind of serum levels of calcium are in his blood (Parathyroid?)
Did they do an ultrasound of his cartiod artery's?
I agree on the angiogram for the 756 but a stent placed in a calcified artery is just trouble in the making. A roto router job would be more proper if it is truly a calcium build up, the Cath would determine this.
Remember the final step in sealing off a stabil plaque build up is a CALCIUM COAT!
You'll notice meds are the biggest culprits!! Owen gave the best advice here! I would advise this gentleman to follow his directions.
