I think I can feel my tubing move!

[feliciadawn 22]

So, since surgery day, if I bend over a little too far to the left (the side all of my incisions are on) I can feel a strange sensation against my ribs, as if something is rubbing against them. At first I thought it was the port, so called my doc and he said it could either be the port or the tubing. He says it's normal and that it would should stop after I build up scar tissue in there. But, 11 days out from surgery I am still feeling it. I lean to the right when I bend down and I feel like I can't relax when I sit in a straight - up position, I have to lean to the right. I find that if I cover it with my hand and push down on it a little when driving or bending down, it doesn't move as much. It doesn't hurt, it's just a VERY weird and annoying feeling. I am hoping it will stop, but if it doesn't, I may have to have it surgically moved down or something. It's driving me crazy.

It will stop, you just have to be patient. For the first 6-weeks your body is recovering and you just have work with it.

Meant to mention, I kept a pillow close to me for the first 2-3 weeks when I would get up or down or even to bend over.

That happened to me too. I always felt pressure by my ribs. It only felt good when i would put my hand over the spot that was uncomfortable. It does go away, I promise

It does go away. It took me a couple of weeks before I stopped feeling it every time I would do anything. I had pinches for a little while after that, but the weird sensation was completely gone after a month.

I'm 3 months post op and I still get that feeling sometimes when I lay on my left side... But just every now and then. I can feel it right now actually... But I also just had surgery again a week ago to remove my port so that's probably why. Haha... No worries though. It goes away. Also, you're probably more aware ofvyour body right now too since you just had surgery... So you're paying attention to every little sensation.

It took me about 3 weeks before I didn't feel it any more.
