Lower right quadrant (LRQ) pain 2yrs post kidney transplant

@littlek welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. Congratulations on your transplant. I’m sorry you are still experiencing pain. What is LRQ? I don’t always know abbreviations or acronyms. I think whenever there is pain present it is important to find out why and if anything can be done about it. You mentioned several possibilities: the hematoma, the surgical clips, the nerve damage, the retractors, the surgeries themselves / scarring. Do you still have a transplant coordinator involved in your follow up care? Could you discuss your concern about this pain with that provider?

LRQ is lower right quadrant. I have told the entire transplant team for the last 2 years about this pain, and every Dr I have seen since. Urologist, GYN, PCP, Neurologist, OT, all with no answers just ordering imaging which only looks at the kidney. It's very frustrating because this is a constant pain. 3/5 scale. I was left with nerve damage in my right leg, (right kidney was transplanted), so it must be nerve damage in my abdomen as well. The clips were put on when they evaluated the large hematoma 3 days after transplant. I just found out in the last 3 months they were there.
