Pain in the Port

Parvathi · November 8, 2005

This may be nothing, or it may be something, I'm just not sure (thus I'm posting for advice lol).

I woke up this morning and when I hopped out of bed (yes literally - I'm a morning person hehe), I noticed my stomach was hurting. Not like tummy ache, but more, something in there was hurting. Around the top of my stomach.

As the day went on, I didn't notice it much. Probably because I was sitting at the desk all day. But when I stood up and picked up my bags to go home, my port area started stinging. Like, sharp pains right around the muscle there.

Now, I've felt pains around the port area once or twice after serious ab workouts, but nothing quite like this. I haven't made it to the gym in about two weeks, so I can't think of any reason for it to be hurting. The only thing I've done differently in the past few days is wear heels to work. A coworker suggested this arvo that perhaps, because I'm not used to wearing heels, I was working different muscles. That's understandable around the calves and such, but surely that wouldn't make my port area hurt, would it?

Just feeling a bit apprehensive about it. Any ideas?

The only thing thats coming to my mind is the flipped port thing since you have lost a significant amount of weight - I've heard lots of people as well as you have on here talk about flipped ports and from what I gather they can happen at anytime for any reason. I'd get it checked - keep us posted!

Jess,

Ive had aches around my port area that lasted for a day or two. Mild pain. Nothing sharp or unbearable, but definately uncomfortable. I just figured that it was from lifting something a little heavier then Im used to - or doing something that Im not used to doing.

Has the pain eased up any in the course of today?

Any better today? I just noticed your post after posting a similiar problem. Sharp pain when I got up from the desk almost very painful to walk to my car. The area has been sore since my 1st fill and the dr though my rector muscle might have been bruised, but today the pain was real sharp like you discribed above. Any resolution for you? Did you talk with your doc?
