@sherman360 - I would like to reach out across the miles and extend a Welcome to the Transplant Support Group because I see that this is your post. I hope that the medication change is working well for your transplanted organ, but it sounds like you are now having painful joints. I'm currently beginning my adventure with osteroathritis joint pain (hip) that is related to natural aging. I share this to let you know that I can understand how bothersome joint pain can be, especially at night! I hope that your PCP will have some ideas that will nelp you feel better.

What organ did you receive? How long ago was your transplant? Have you discussed this with the transplant team?
I will be looking forward to hearing about your appointment with your PCP.

I am a heart transplant recipient and will be celebrating my 1-year anniversary on February 7. 2025. I have daily nerve pain and joint issues since my surgery. a rheumatologist said it might be fibromyalgia but I think it is from lack of movement from hospitalization and recovery. I also was advised to stop my statin for a month. It did help a lot. I look forward to talking more in this community.
