So, I donated through a paired donor matchup on 1/31/17 at Emory Transplant in ATL. Recovery has been pretty mundane. However, I'm feeling pain to the left and right of the major incision. The incision itself is healed up fine and not tender/painful to the touch. I think the pain is just a normal part of the recovery of the abdominal wall, but would like to know if anyone else has experienced this? It usually occurs when sneezing/coughing, rolling over in bed...or doing my normal daily activities which require a lot of bending/stooping/stretching/reaching. Again, utilizing those muscles. Only other pain I have is what I would call a phantom pain where the kidney was removed...a dull ache. I think I'm just being an impatient patient and feel like I should be back to my normal self after 7 weeks. I waited a full 4 weeks before I went back to my part time work. I live in OK so not really wanting to drive to ATL for a re-check!
