Hello and welcome to HCM.
As an Urologist and kidney transplant surgeon,i can understand your anxiety.
What's the lump you're referring to ? Do you mean the kidney graft ? or leg.?
That feeling of the graft will disappear soon.
Numbness over the leg also disappears,as it may be due to the incision.
Hope you're walking about, as it helps in faster recovery of the numbness.
If you've any doubts,send all the reports to me,as a direct question.
