Port Pain?

[onmyway11 43]

Has anyone experienced pain or discomfort around their port? I've had a cough for a week or so and yesterday spent the evening with friends laughing really hard and when I went to bed owwww I could NOT get comfortable! I really thought I would never feel this thing. I had my surgery 5 months ago.

I am 90 to 100 pounds post opp and I get this often I go to my surgeon every 3 months to get checked out and she says it's normal to experience pain in the port

I am 15 months and 115 pounds post op and I still get port pain sometimes. It depends on how much I've eaten, what I've eaten, how much activity I've done and different positions I've been in. Postions meaning sitting all day, over reaching, or standing all day. If the skin around your port becomes red and or hot, and you suddenly have no restriction, then you should call your doctor asap. Good luck to you on your journey!

I have been told that sometimes the pain in the port area is caused since it is stitched to that muscle so when you tweek it then it causes it to hurt. Happens to me alot after I work out really hard core, especially if I am doing ab workouts. So if you have been coughing alot and then laughing for several hours after a few days of the coughing then that could very well be what it is. I mean I am no expert and this is what I have heard from other band patients, but really it does make sense.
