I am only in my 8 th day and the pain and the burning is so uncomfortable. I had very large hiatal hernia.Called my Dr twice the pain is right at my waistline. Saw him on my 7th day said evrything is ok I guess between the port and hernia he told me it could be 2-3 months having pain. I am also bruised in the area where the port is. The only way you can get relief is to lay down and you feel slight burning, then when I get up It hurts so much.No use taking pain medication it doesn't do a thing for this.
