hi all!!
long time since I've been on here.
So I'm now 3 years post transplant with a comfortable creat of 150-160 depending on day and fluid balance. I lost 6.5 stones since transplant and have just had my AV fistula ligated as it had become quite large at my elbow crease and was getting caught on stuff at work.
Had the surgery under local on Friday at guys and was all good, slight allergy to the dressing which I changed to a mepore and this subsided but now I have pain between my thumb and my index finger. has anyone experienced this?
hope everyone ok on here

Hi Unifluzie,
The pain could just be because the nerves have been disturbed but I think it is worth a visit to your GP.
Best wishes.

thanks, I spoke to a renal doc at work, he said that it was fine.......it subsided over the next 24 hours
Re: pain post ligation surgery
bit gutted after all! went for my wound check up on Friday thinking that all was good to find there is a 3x1cm collection sitting just over the artery. dr's not keen to drain it as it a mix of fluids and I have to go back in 2 weeks.
its actually more uncomfortable than the actual fistula pre surgery
