Port area question

[Tami_819 17]

Hi there. Wondering if anyone has experienced having pain in the port area after doing abdominal work outs? And, if so how long did it take the muscles to finally settle down & the pain to lesson? I'm 3 months post op and while i realize that i'm working muscles that have worked this hard since contractions during delivery almost 7 years ago, but the pain i have after wards around my port can be quite unbearable sometimes. All my ab muscles themselves are sore, but that i can understand as that it's a new routine and they are rebuilding & getting stronger. Do you think it's all just related & it will get easier as time passes & they get stronger? I do vary my exercise so it's not back to back ab workouts, but like tonight i actually shy'd away from doing it cause i didn't want to be in pain tomorrow. I did ask the doc last time i was in, 12/28, and he said that i can't hurt it or pull off the walls from working out, but since my next appt had to be rescheduled for another 3 weeks, i'm just looking to see if any one has thoughts in the mean time.

Thanks

My port site did not really stop being tender/sore until approx 3 weeks ago. During months 3-4 I started to do Abdominal exercises and for me it stung as if a bee had stung me. I skipped the abdominal work out for a week applied a warm pad to the site until the pain eased and then went back a lighter or leser intense abdominal work out. By month 5 there was no soreness/pain.
