@Grainger, did have right shoulder pain. Due to laying down for a long period of time.

@craiger I had a liver transplant in February of 2019 at the Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville. My pre-transplant symptoms were extreme fatigue, very weak leg muscles, hand shaking, trouble with my short term memory and leg cramps. I was always very cold all of the time. I did not have shoulder pain. I was hospitalized for hepatic encephalopathy once in July of 2018. Last fall I began to have ascites with paracentisis once a week. I also had kidney failure and was hospitalized 3 times from November to the end of January. The last weeks before my transplant I had a terrible time eating anything and mostly ate soup. My MELD was 44 and increased to 47 the day I was readmitted to Mayo. I received the transplant that night. I did not know a MELD could go that high until meeting 2 liver transplant patients while waiting for an appointment. NASH was my diagnosis. I wish you well!
