Yes, I had a kidney transplant last year and things went well. I had one sexual experience in 7 years without a condom and found out I had herpes (through tests) prior to getting the transplant.  Now my kidney has been hurting after I dealt with the outbreak about a month ago.  Now I am having just pain where my transplant was. I thought it was the exercise program that I started (mostly yoga). Is the kidney reacting to the herpes? My gyn said that I didnt need to tell the nephrologist because it was already in my system.  I had blood tests yesterday but dont have the results back yet. I am so scared Ill lose the kidney I cant sleep!
Hi, Thanks for your question. I think the best course of action for you is to report this issue of kidney pain to the Nephrologist who conducted the transplant or who is attending your follow-up visits. After transplant, you must not decide on your own about the nature or cause of your symptoms, and an expert opinion is mandatory. This pain may represent a sign of graft rejection & need urgent attention. Wish you good health.
