Pain upper stomach, left of port.

Hi everyone, I am 7 months out and doing fairly well until recently. I have this almost constant ache, almost like pulling a muscle , just a little left and down from the sternom. My port is on the right side, and for a few months after my surgery I had a lot of discomfort on my left side, mostly my shoulder. Im not sure what's going on.. and being as that my doctor is 3 hours away (just recently moved) I know when I call tomorrow morning they'll tell me to come in.. and that's not really a possiblilty right now. Has anyone else had these pains? What did it turn out to be? Thanks for any info.. the first couple days I figured it'd go away but now im a little worried!!

Its not something we should be giving our opinions of. If it is that bothersome you should call your doctor even if he is 3 hours away. It could be something that needs to be looked at and just because someone else had the same symptoms does not mean it is the same thing you are having. Please call your doctor and just explain you can not come right now they may have suggestions of what you can do or go to the emergency room.
