Good morning, @bbmj06 Having those painful joints must really impact your day! I wonder if there’s an alternative medication your doctor could try for you to see if it makes a difference? Have you been able to see a rheumatologist to see if this is arthritis? For a time I had some serious issues with joint issues from a medical condition (not related to yours). Until we learned the cause, acupunture treatments helped lessen the pain. Just make sure it’s a licensed practitioner. It’s just a thought, but have you ever tried acupunture?

@loribmt No, I’ve never tried acupuncture. I do have osteoarthritis (from wear & tear plus age). That’s what destroyed my knee joints. The crazy thing is I was doing great after knee replacement surgery until I started Vidaza infusions. Now, since the pulmonary embolism, I can’t take any nsaids because I’m taking Eliquis. I have factor V Leiden so I’ll be on a blood thinner forever. I took Meloxicam for years until I started Eliquis.
