@contentandwell You have been through so much. I'm proud of you that you still exercise. I don't know anything about reclast, because I'm still on Tymlos. I am the one who had that 9 hour back fusion. After listening to all your problems makes me feel not so bad about what I'm going through. The cholesterol medicine I am on is Rosuvastatin Calcium 10 mg. It doesn't cause any side effects. Other ones I have been on caused me to ache all over. Having a transplant must not be easy. Yes, I like Tymlos, but inject it at night cause it can cause fatigue. I have to use it for 2 years and then go on something else for my bones. The only problem I have is my right foot that is shorter than the left leg and my surgeon suggested getting 1/4 in lift. I'm not going for walk till I get the lift. My right knee hurts and I have spasms in my right foot. I hope all goes better for you. With me having anxeity and depression things are harder for now.
Bless your heart hand in there.

Thanks, @lilypaws Of course I remember that you went through that back fusion. Although I have not recently been very active on Connect I did follow that.

Thanks for the info on Rosuvastatin Calcium 10 mg, I will have to ask my endocrinologist about that. For some reason my PCP left the prescribing of a cholesterol medication up to him.

My litany of problems sounds worse than they are actually. Pre-transplant I was very good up until the end when things went downhill. My transplant recovery was amazing, even the transplant team was surprised at how quickly I was doing well. As I mentioned in a different message I think, my old PCP felt all I did pre-transplant was why I did so well after transplant. Maybe, but I think he gives me too much credit. I always think of myself as being very healthy and then I remember all the things that wrong with me! Right now I am doing pretty well other than sporadic depression when I think of how much longer we will be stuck isolating and wondering when if ever I will see my son again. My daughter is planning to self-isolate going into August so we can spend time together. She and her husband can drive here, no need to be on an airplane.

I was still having knee and hip problems from walking longish distances but I am using Voltaren (a gel) two times a day. The recommended is three times a day but I never get a third time in. Even so, I am finding this helped.
