Liver transplant - Let's support each other

Hello folks ,
I had liver transplant almost 6 months back and I was hoping things will get better - though it’s better than before but I always have some or other problem but abdomen heaviness , tightness ( seems some one put stone on it ) . All my reports are stable and I got CT also done due to this pain and nothing came in that . Any one faced this ? Is it related to nerve , medicine side effect, anything else ? What can I do to feel better ?

@manishgang, Congratulations on your transplant 6 months ago. And also, please accept my sincere Welcome to Connect.
It is great to hear that you reports are all stable that show that your liver is happy and settling into its new home. It is also great to hear that your CT showed nothing that could be the cause of your abdominal tightness and discomfort. I don't remember too much about my abdominal discomfort except for tightness, the weird (un)feel of the numbness, and the discomfort of constricting clothing. I did feel abdominal discomfort, but not pain, when I over stretched or exercised. And just now, I remembered that there was discomfort if I stood for too long. My transplant was 14 years ago.
In support of the experiences that have been shared in this discussion, here is another that will that will let you know what others have had to say about how they handled their abdominal discomfort.

@manishgang, Is it possible that you are over-exerting yourself by trying to do too much, too soon? or too often?

I dealt with the same abdomen pain. I'm 8 months and the discomfort is passing and now I'm getting electric shocks in my abdomen. My team said it was all normal... the body healing it's self also got a lot of input from this group. I hope this helps you. I did do a lot of massages on daily basis. Used Temu oil. Feel better. Oh and they gave me gabapentin for the discomfort. Worked good for me..
