From all I have seen as a nurse this is similar to gout. Only instead of purine crystals building up in joints it is calcium in the joints.
When I worked in rehab it was recomended to ice and rest the involved joint to help prevent swelling.
Also to stop calcium supplements. Once the joint swelling has gone down you can slowly go back to your normal routine.
For the pain the MD recomended antiinflamatory meds.
As diet goes processed food especially lunch meats and weiners due to the nitrates in them should be taken out of your diet.
This is a fairly common syndrome but is hard to diagnosis.
Ask your doc about Uric acid lowering drugs. This is also what the doctors recomended when I was on rehab.
Hope this helps you.
Get better soon.

Thank you all for comments and advice. It has meant so much to me. I am determined to go through this as holistically as I can. All comments seem to support the Mediterranean Diet or something simular. I admit I felt scared and frustrated about this health issue but my FS family made me realize Im not alone..Thank u all again for the love.💜💜💜💜

I'm so sorry for your diagnosis. I also am worried for you because there are a lot of people online who want to either profit off you by selling you some magic potion or feel powerful by playing doctor online when they never went to med school.
I was just doing a simple Google search and it, while it does not have a cure, patients often receive medication to treat symptoms so it's worth following up with a specialist. Here is the link I read and note that it is not from YouTube:
