Transplant patients and pain

[Rusty8]

Hi is there any transplant patient out there I am a kidney transplant patient if 25 years

I have chronic pain due to spine hip knees problems

Steroids don't touch these problems so had a good talk to doctor who apologised for not being able to give me anything else other then tylex (cocodomol) and gabapentin

Tylex I have been taking for years gabapentin for about 4months also ibrufen gel

I could increase tylex by one pill and rub in gel one extra time

This is all due to the kidney pill I take

I am very very grateful for my kidney and how it has been looked after just wondered if there were any one else on forum with similar problems I could talk to as after all the years of being in pain it is now getting better of me thanks for reading this

B12 Deficiency can cause spine degeneration problems right down to the feet.

Vitamin D levels too ? (for hip and knee)

There is also a CKD link with low Thyroid too., (many with CKD also have low thyroid.)

B12 Deficiency can go hand in hand with Low throid (Hypothryoidism)
