3Week Post Op Tummy Hurting

[Lovemythreems 36]

Tomorrow will be my 3rd week post op & I had been feeling great. No issues until Monday when my port location started hurting. Woke me up otta my sleep. I have not been taking pain meds for weeks & I had to take something to sleep. Very strange it would start throbbing 3 weeks later. It also freaks me out that I can feel my port. Is that normal? It's super gross. My port still hurts today. Not sure if I should call my doc? It's tender to the touch & I can't lay flat.

You have maybe just pulled the muscle that your port is attatched to or it has shifted a stitch etc .. unless the area is very red and looks inflamed it will probably settle after a while ..if you are concerned u should contact your doctor ...

I have never seen on here anyone describe their port as 'super gross' lol .. to me its just blemish .. if it grosses u out are u touching it a lot, fiddling with it ? sorry dont mean to sound obvious but sometimes if we have something on / in our bodies and we can feel it we tend to feel it a lot, i know i do ..

I'm 4 weeks out and my port area is hurting. I haven't had meds in weeks either. Mine feels like I pulled something. (like a tear)

I couldn't understand it either since the pain just all of a sudden hit me. I thought maybe I over ate because I haven't lifted anything heavy. Hope you feel better

Yes, I am feeling it alot & yes grossed out is probably a new word...lol...to be honest that was my biggest issue w/ doing the surgery, having a foreign object in my body that I could feel. Freaks me out. It's just that I can feel it perfectly...ugh. So glad I have boobs b/c a boob job would not be in my future:). I'll try not to touch!

It's not red it just all of a sudden started hurting. Never thought about a pulled muscle. Ouch
