Can Elevated Calcium Levels Affect Bunions And Osteo Arthritis On Hands?

I am a 55 year old woman and just got the results of my blood test today. I have elevated blood calcium and will take another test in 3 months. I have to stop taking calcium as well. I have bunions and osteo-arthritis in my hands and big toe joints. Could the elevated calcium be affecting these joints? Thank you!
