Welcome to NeuroTalk:

Some of the transplant drugs may cause neuropathy:

This link is for cyclosporine.

Prograf is another.

I am not finding much on Cellcept causing PN however.

Did you discuss this with your transplant doctor?
When people have serious issues like yours, there may not
be an alternate therapy if the PN is due to the drugs.

Have you had your B12 measured? It should be 400 or above in US units. Sometimes low B12 sneaks up on a person, and doctors may not test for it or when they do they use the old test ranges, and miss the real lows. So it would be a good idea to see if your B12 is adequate. When low, neuropathy begins.
