Liver transplant - Let's support each other

It feels like a dull pain. It could be muscles, scar tissue but everytime I carry 15lbs or more I feel like something will pop. Yesterday my RA doctor said my RA isn't acting up and he suspects it's this weird phenomenon that happens with Trac. That gives you a lot of severe pain. Has anyone experience this???

@nrbecerril, Hi ! Welcome! Congratulations on your recent liver transplant!!!
I had a liver and kidney transplant in 2009. I did not have pain in the area of my liver transplant surgery after my initial surgery healing, but I did have some pain/discomfort in
my lower left abdomen where my new kidney is located. I remember asking about it at my 1st year checkup, and learned that it was scar tissue and that if I kept up with gentle exercises, it would do no harm and would go away in time. It did! However when my husband and I joined a gym, I became over zealous and the pain plus returned. Intuitively, I reduced my level of exercise, and all was well again.
Are you possible over lifting or exerting? Are you able to ease up for a while? Or do you have a job that requires lifting? Have you mentioned this to your liver transplant team?
