Port Question

[Chris410 5]

I am 17 days post op. The first 4-5 days I was sore (obviously from my body going through surgery) but after that everything started feeling normal. The last two days, i have been having a lot of sensitivity at the port site and can feel it when laying a certain way or getting up from a chair or bed. Its not painful, just uncomfortable. Is this normal? Is it just because it's healing?

I'm almost 2 months out and it still happens to me, but i don't worry since asked my dr.

sounds like the scar tissue is forming around the port. when mine did (about a month out) it was very tender (it didnt hurt) just very tender when i touched it...so i assume as you lay on it, it would (hurt) somewhat. it will get better. i am just over 2 months out and it dont hurt at all nor do i realize its there (unless i seek it out with my fingers)

all the best

Me too! I had surgery July 17th and was basically fine then this last week, if I get up too fast or turn a certain way, wow it feels like it's moved or stuck on my ribs or something! I go for my 1st fill on the 28th, if still like this will ask Dr. about it! Let me know if you hear anything!
