calcium is giving me kidney problems..HELP!

I tried taking high doses then low doses of calcium, since i have osteoporosis. However everytime i take ANY calcium, my kidneys get infected or hurt bad. My kidney doctor says calcium is a "cheap" way to protect my bones. But my gyno doc says i need to take 1500mg of calcium a day....I am already on HRT, but this isnt enough to protect my bones, since they still pop and ache. Is there a way calcium can absorb correctly in the body? I believe the calcium i have tried (different kinds) is not absorbing in my body, causing a buildup in my kidneys.... therefore causing all the kidney problems. Is there another way to protect my bones or get them to feel better? I tried fosamax, evista and actonel, and all these upset my stomach so much i had to stop them..HELP PLEASE!
