Post Transplant - Core numbness and weakness

@mellow123, I would like to ask you how you are getting along since you last posted here about your transplant recovery.
Have you noticed any changes in regard to the numbness in your abdominal area?
And what about your core strength, stability, and flexibility? Others have offered their experience about what has worked for them after their transplant surgeries. With your doctor's permission, did you find a way to increase and improve your post transplant progress?

Hi. It’s been a while, but unfortunately I still have the issue. I was sent to a physical therapist who gave me some micro needle treatment, thinking it might be scar tissue blocking my abdomens ability to function properly. That helped a little. I have my balance, but I still feel the stiffness when I stand. The best way to describe it, other than saying I’m carrying around a30!pond mass, is i get a constant feeling just as if I’m in the middle of a sit-up or crunch. That’s just standing. I’m trying to do actual crunches in the morning and do more walking. But, 4 years later, I still have same issue. I’m wondering if it’s because of all the nerve damage that’s causing my abdomen muscles to not reform or function correctly . I’m not sure what else I can do other than hope it improves over time, but I’m 62 and kbow age will not make it any easier
