Three months out and still having discomfort

Post by Michele in TN »

At times I have tenderness/pain around the area of the kidney. I'm not sure why. Does anyone else ever have this? Is it normal? I'm worried that there may be lymph fluid building up again.
It comes and goes and I can't really find a pattern to it.

Thanks.

i had trouble with my scar for bout 3 months after transplant. When it was finally sorted, they noticed that a stitch had grown 2 the surface, and htye had 2 cut that.
Mention it to your surgeon/ specialist and see what they say!

Hope you feel better soon
