Managing New Joint Pain Post-Transplant?
AI-generated title
Hello! I have Kappa Light Chain myeloma, high risk. I had four rounds induction with RVD and first stem cell transplant in September, second in February. Both were auto transplants. During the second, I got sepsis and was put on meds to increase blood pressure, midodrine and fludrocortisone. After I came home, I started developing joint pain. Started in elbow and pinky on left hand, then spread. I have pain in fingers, elbows, knees, and bottom of feet. Worse first thing in morning. Doctor took me off the fludrocortisone about 6 weeks ago, didn't help. Last week decided it could be the Bactrim, so they took me off that as well. So far, no changes. Fingers do swell somewhat overnight. Any ideas? Next step would be Rhuematologist.
