Anyone with MGUS, do you have joint pain?

So one of the questions for me is, how much of my aches and pains are simply the result of aging? Neuropathy…well, I do have type 2 Diabetes, well-controlled by medication. Have had one hip replaced and am arthritic. I’m 71 in May. Hard to sort it all out. What dots connect MGUS to symptoms?

I am 92 and have both hips and knees replaced, and a shoulder replacement due to a fall. I have Trigeminal Neurologia which apparently is associated with Old Age. They tell me our nerves have a coating and as we age this coating wears off and if the nerve is near a blood vessel it rubs against the blood vessel and thus the pain. All of my other joints seem to be in good shape (no pain). I was not aware of the MGUS diagnosis until I had Lab Tests for the Trigeminal Neuralgia. I probably have had it for some time and just did not know it and probably would be better off if I did not know about it now. It is just one more thing to worry about. I am not diabetic, but weight is a problem for me. I had an Aortic Valve replacement in 2021 and how much that may contribute to all of this I cannot tell you. Each of us are so different. I wish the very best for you and a very long life.
