Calcarea fluor. is marked by piercing, darting, grinding pains in the joints; this is associated with bony deposits in the articulations and on the bones.
There is crepitation of the joints from lack of synovial fluid.
In its aggravations it resembles Rhus tox., but the marked tendency to bony deposits marks a striking difference.
Calc. fluor. follows well after Bryonia, Calc. carb., Ferrum phos., Rhus tox. and Silica.
