associated with flowing calcification along the sides of the vertebrae of the spine
and commonly with inflammation (tendinitis) and calcification of the tendons at
their attachments points to bone.
Because areas of the spine and tendons can become inflamed, nonsteroidal antiinflammatory
drugs (NSAIDs) such as ibuprofen can be helpful in relieving both pain and inflammation.
Forestier disease is also called diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH).
Common Misspellings: forestier diease, forestier desease
