abdominal swelling

I am eleven months post transplant. I am very uncomfortable sleeping on either side of my body. The transplant site seems to be getting harder and it feels like it is pushing against my stomach causing me aches on both sides of my abdomen. I have complained to my transplant team many times but they don't see anything wrong. anyone else experiencing something similar ?

Get your consultant to do CT scan immediately my mother would have had hears transplant three years last January if she had not have died last October in fact on the 11 October my birthday. It was manor organ failure, kidneys, liver, heat and lungs. The transplanted kidney was enlarged and infected, should never have been oput in. Another woman got cancer as the kidneys she got came from a woman who died of cancer.

Get a CT scan now!
