@jackie421blfdgurl, I am in Kentucky and my transplant Center in in Minnesota (750 miles). I can understand how the distance and travel planning can complicate things. I rely on my local primary care doctor who is willing to work in cooperation with my Transplant team at Mayo in MN.

I am sharing a link to some immunosuppressant medicine and side effects for you to look at. It is going to be your doctors who regulate and advise you about your meds.

When is your MRI? Is it local? or do you need to travel to the transplant center?
What is the status of your swelling and pain?
