I added you to the list! http://ihatedialysis.com/forum/index.php?topic=4927.0

When did you last have labs? I would call the transplant team and check in - see what they have to say.

congratulations!!

i received a transplant 1 year ago this month and after about 3 months my left ankle and leg swelled up.  i went to the surgeon and after they checked for blood clots (which there were none) they determined it was a direct side effect of the immunosuppressents. 

it is still swollen (from the knee down) 1 year later but it doesnt bother me. 

best of luck to you!!
