So sorry that sounds awful...no I haven't had that problem & am 8 mos post-tx....sounds like you really need to see doc asap in case something really not okk that can be resolved....+ ya can't not not use arm.
Only problem I still have is constant leg pain that gets worse if I do too much activity...can't be diagnosed...hoping just chemicals that will work out...also have osteoarthritis & Degenerative Disk Disease which was not tx related...your may not be either...so please have checked out and let me know how it goes...

hey steve, -about 10 months after transplant I got the same pain in the arm- couldn't use my rt arm without excruciating pain, it also had a mind of its own! getting worse towards nightime- nothing helped, advil, aleve, tylonol, ben gay, a heating pad took my mind off it -a little! it also moved around from upper arm to shoulder! took 8 weeks to finally ease off- I asumed it was a body cold or muscle virus and cause of meds- wouldn't go away! now 10-12 months later It returned! same place, same time of year- only not quite as bad, or did I just get used to it? one doctor said its a compressed nerve and I should sleep without a pillow- LOL- who can sleep! I took a perc and it still hurts, but who cares!? Im into 2 weeks with it now and going nutz!
