Calcifications seem like part of the big ugly package... I do think steroids have their place but wouldn't really want to take them long term.
Maybe try internal enzymes to help dissolve calcifications... Zymessenece or Vitalzym are good brands, but do a search and see what you can find.
Also, have you heard of bee venom therapy or apitherapy? There are proteins and enzymes in the venom that can do a world of good... unless you are allergic to bees.
