    stabbing port pain

    Hi, the pain went away after about a week,and I have since had a fill with no problems. The surgeon said I had torn the muscle area by doing to much, as the port is stiched to the muscle I may have ripped the stiches and muscle. I took ibruprofen for about a week, didn't take the pain away but i could function (just) and it disappeared about one week later. It was the worst pain I experienced post op, and probably ever.

    What Type of Multi Vitamin Do You Take?

    Hi, the supradyn is not a complete multi, good for the first few weeks to get down but after that you need a better multi with more nutrients. I have been taking the Swiss Ultravite for women for years and find it to be great, I can tell from my energy levels whether I've forgotten it or not. It does go down, but you can break it in half if neccesary.

    stabbing port pain

    thanks for that, at least I know it may be normal. i had myself convinced there was something wrong. Jen
  6. Hi, I was banded 3 weeks ago and over the last few days I have developed severe port pain, like someone stabbing me. this happens every time I use my abdonimals at all, like pulling out a drawer. I am worried the port has flipped, it feels like the stiches are ripping out every time I move. The nurse said to take nurofen and let it heal, but I am still worried. The pain is worse than anything I felt after surgery. I can't believe this is normal, my initial recovery went well, I have been active with no problems til now.The nurse said they won't know if there's a problem until they try to access the port in 3 weeks, just wondering if it can cause worse problems to leave it so long? Anyone had this problem?
