I just experienced the sharp pain thing the past two days. I was doubled over with pain at times and could not move or take a deep breath. I called the nurse and we figured out that I was somewhat constipated and that the bowels were getting 'backed up' (gross, I know!) which was maaking me bloated and I THINK it was making my port (mine is on my left side) hit my ribs or SOMETHING because it hurt like you-know-what! Turns out, I am not drinking enough Water, sooo guess I will have to work on that.
I too still have a tough time bending over...
I also have trouble laying on my right side (the port is on the left...) at night...I am 2 weeks post op. Has anyone had this issue? It seems if I lay on the left side, it shifts my port out and away from my ribs. I dunno...crazy stuff!
