So tonight I ate dinner with the family and thought that I just maybe ate to much, even though I didnt eat much at all but here I am four almost five hours later and Im in pain. It feels like something is pinching right around the area of my port. The pain goes up and down but has stayed for these last few hours. I also just noticed that I can feel the tubing????? I guess thats what it is??? But at the end its like a big rough bump???? Im kinda freaking out here. Its 11:30 pm here and the only choice I have is to either deal with it till Monday or go to the ER which I do not want to do. Also just in this last hour started feeling a little sick to my stomach. Anybody know whats going on or what could be happening?????

We are able to feel our ports when we touch our tummy. You possibly might be able to notice it more because maybe the swelling has gone down and you probably have taken off some around the midsection. I would check your temperature to see if you have a fever, were you able to eat without any problems? Are you drinking enough fluid? You also might be putting yourself into a panic attack or hyper ventalating because of nerves. i am healed up but if I do not get enough water i will get like a charlie horse around the left side near my port area. I have had it last awhile but I drink, drink, drink! Check your skin press down and see if it stays light colored that you might be dehydrated a bit. I cannot feel my tubing, but Like I said I can feel the port, you also might be feeling scar tissue forming vs the tubing. It was an odd feeling when I felt what it was like having a foreign object inside. Hopefully it helps some!

Yes I have always been able to feel my port but never the tubing. Until just today. I would think that the swelling would have already went down a while ago?? IDK though. . I do drink alot of water but I will try to drink more before I call my doctor. I really dont want to see him until I have to LOL Thanks so much
