Hello @almula
While I have never had a transplant myself, I very much agree with @rosemarya, that it would be a very good idea to call your doctor's office with the information about the swelling. Just to keep your doctor "in-the-know" is important whenever you have any post-transplant problems.
Will you consider calling your doctor's office?

Teresa, I like your choice of words, Just to keep your doctor "in-the-know".

Sometimes I am hesitant to contact my doctor because I don't want to bother him. And fortunately for me, my husband tells me to. "Call, its better safe than sorry." I grit my teeth and, knowing that he is right, I will place the call. There have been occasions when I didn't need intervention; there have been times when intervention was urgent.

I have also learned that a 24 hour - My Nurse on Call - hotline is not qualified to address for my post transplant specialized needs.

Has anyone else had a similar experience?
