@lvowell, I had a liver and kidney transplant, too. And, unbelievable as it sounds, I also got a large kidney and liver. I had PSC (Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis) which progressed to end stage liver failure, and then acute kidney failure and dialysis until transplant. My body was swollen with fluid retention due top ascites from the liver failure, and edema from the kidney failure. My native kidneys are now shriveled to the size of prunes, and cause me no problem. I see the liver transplant team and the kidney transplant team each year on my annual check-up. Fortunately, the both use most of the same diagnostic tests.

I would imagine that your body is still healing internally at just 2 months after transplant surgery. Are you able to do any walking or to begin any exercise?

@lvowell, @livertrex, I noticed the numbness when I first transplanted, too. I don't remember when, but the numbness eventually became my new normal, and it doesn't bother me anymore. I am told that the numbness is because nerves were cut during the surgical process. I hope this helps.
