@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?

Hi @rosemary - many thanks for warm welcome . Glad that you connected me to group and felt better that I am not alone and things would get better from here on.

I don’t think I am over stretching my self - I am very careful in what I do . It’s just the skin / muscular pain across the surgical area almost all the time and also feels very heavy and uncomfortable

hello ya all My 3 yr anniversary was last week for my liver transplant. 6 months after surgery I had incisional hernia surgery. Well nowI have another hernia sort of in middle of upper stomach..I was feeling weird after I ate the area was tender and just hurt. I saw on a web site all the foods I need to stay away from...I had
so much surgery in my stomach I was wondering if getting all these hernias is common? thanks and have a great day ya all...
