Post Transplant - Core numbness and weakness

@crystalfaye I was very hunchy after my liver transplant- they called it in part guarding, which makes sense that we do that. I’ve done two rounds of outpatient PT during the 8+ months post transplant. I’ve needed help with getting re conditioned and coping with back aches. My last PT focused a lot on posture and stretching which helps my back and this insane amount of stiffness I’ve had. My posture is now much better and I feel more comfortable in my body in general. You should run it by your doc, but it’s helped me each morning to stretch in bed before I get up, and throughout the day, stop and reset my posture but pushing my shoulders back and squeezing my shoulder blades together. Very simple stretch’s and LOTS of walking are quiet miracles.

Great information! Thank you for sharing. I think I am going to pursue PT. Your issues sound almost identical to what I am experiencing. Did you have a lot of numbness or any skin issues? My skin is so sensitive all over my body.
