YES! It will help. And it won’t be forever so don’t fret. Exact same scenario for me but mostly my hands - I couldn’t open my hands in the morning. I also eliminated sugar and gluten from my diet - I promise it’s not hard - as both cause minimal swelling but enough to cause joint issues (at least for me). My LT transplant was 5/3/23 and I am now 56 yo. Once I tapered completely off steroids and removed the sugar and gluten (I cheat once and awhile, not necessarily Keto), I have been and remain joint-pain free. I posted about my journey if you want to see my profile. Good luck! And congratulations!!!!

Forgot to mention I completely tapered off steroids about 6 months post transplant. My team was 100 on board and it was a low dose.
