I just did some searching on the internet to see if other people were having the same problem I am. I'm 42 and I'm 2 months post transplant. I didn't have any issues prior to transplant with this type of pain. Now it's everywhere! I'm hurting in my joints mostly but it's all my joints. My shoulders, my elbows, my hands and fingers and wrist, my hips, my knees, my ankles. My toes. Everything! So far, from what I've read, this could have all been caused by them tapering me off the prednisone. I don't like the side effects of the prednisone but I've been told that it might help if I was put back on it and then tapered back off.
