It sure can. I hacked up blood and stuff for quite a while during the early post tx. She may have to resort to the "pink magic". This is also the time the thrush commonly kicks in and that will cause throat pain as well. I was hitting the bottom at 2 months post Tx. It should start getting better from here. Early on you will notice progress in 3 week increments - i.e., verrry slow. Patience!
