    Hi @Wkjay , congrats on 11 years with your heart. I too was blessed with a heart in Maryland (@UMMC) in April 2015. πŸ’™πŸ‘πŸ’š

    I too have had joint pains from time to time, but not severe. And yes, I too was told it was likely due to meds - if you read through the long list of side effects, pretty much everything is covered! 😲

    In my case, I had some neuropathy too (diabetes) + some discomfort from varicose veins. Compression stockings helped me.

    Does any OTC pain med like Tylenol work for you?

    Hope the pain gets better & hope they've clearly ruled out other causes (arthritis, gout & what not).

    Good luck, Kim!
