Hi @contentandwell. I have experienced the same situation. Just to and from Chicago during this past week. The xray machine found something in my shoulder area on the way to Chicago and at OHare there was something in my upper thigh groin area. Never happened before my transplant. Honestly, I thought it was a fluke, but I saw the images myself.

@estrada53 Thank you, I feel better to hear that it happened to someone else. Expect it to be a regular thing, it has been every time, and as I said, I’ve been through that machine about 10 times. Seems odd that it’s just very few of us that this is happening to. What immunosuppressants do you take? I take sirolimus and prednisone.

@cmael I have had two TKRs but neither has ever been a problem and they are two different replacement brands.

@gaylea1 I think the whereabouts of where something is showing up makes that pretty unlikely, plus I have had hip and leg x-rays for my recent fracture and other and nothing showed on them. Thanks to you and to cmael for the suggestions though.
