I have never heard of magnesium hurting the joints. It is amazing tho what some people have told me in the past about things. Nothing would surprise me anymore!
Most people are so low in magnesium, you wouldn't believe it.
I wonder what else that nurse was taking? And if she was using the dreaded magnesium oxide, which doesn't work for absorption. For YOUR problem magnesium oxide is preferable because it is a laxative. Phillips makes one tablet form in fact!
Anyway, magnesium works with calcium for your bone strength.
Taking calcium alone, does not work for osteoporosis without magnesium too.
