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.

@mddaviscares25, Hi, and Welcome to Mayo Connect! I am sorry to hear about the joint pain, but happy to hear that you will be celebrating your 1st heart transplant anniversary! My advice is to do something special to honor that day.
I'm beginning to experience some undesired joint pain which has been diagnosed as age related osteoarthritis. Yep! It is the time of my life to be visited by the age related things.
I see that you are seeing rheumatologist fot the joint pain and also stopping the statin for a month. I hope that helps you because I have heard that it has helped others With/without transplant.
Have you started to get some physical activity or exercise? Are you able?
