Question

Why does my arm keep dislocating? It has happened three times already. Someone said it might be due to calcium deficiency. Is that correct? I want to know the cause and solution, thank you!

Answer

When experiencing many of the following symptoms, it should be diagnosed as calcium deficiency: difficulty falling asleep, not easily entering deep sleep, crying and fussing after falling asleep, prone to waking up, excessive sweating after falling asleep; intermittent abdominal pain, vomiting, convulsions, chest pain, “X” or “O” shaped legs, pigeon chest, nails with grayish color or white spots; loss of appetite, selective eating; restlessness during the day, unable to sit still; delayed mental development, late language development. Babies grow rapidly and have a relatively high calcium requirement, but the daily dietary calcium intake of Chinese residents usually does not meet the recommended intake standards. Therefore, it is now universally recommended that babies should start taking an additional one-third of calcium supplements from the second week after birth and continue to take them until at least two years old, otherwise they are prone to calcium deficiency. The above is a suggestion for the question “Why does my arm keep dislocating,” hoping it will be helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
