Charlie-Glad to hear that you didn't do alittle chiropractic manipulation of your own!How old are you? It is sometimes possible to detect significant atherosclerosis on a routine x-ray- atherosclerotic plaques can contain significant amounts of calcium which is picked up on the film. If that's what he's talking about, you might get a copy of the film and show it to your doc.while fibromyalgia is associated with IBS, arthritis and joint aches are less common- without examining you (or taking an x-ray and leaving a message on your answering machine), I don't think I can guide you very well.Stones in a salivary gland (sialoliths) are pretty common. As the salivary glands are primarily the realm of the ENT folks (and I don't spout off about things I know little about), I do your ENT doc a favor and not give you half-a**d advice to feel like I know something. There are several ways to deal with that problem and therapy is usually dependent on the specifics of the case. So talk with the ENT guy about it.Uric acid is basically a product of cell turnover. High levels may be associated with gout and kidney problems. Low levels are not a problem.Any other questions I can not answer for you tonight?Sorry...
