MOMIOF3CV 11 Posted August 25, 2012 Can I damage my port by sleeping on my left side. It is very uncomfy, so I dont start off that way. However, I am usually woke by discomfort and finding that I have rolled over onto my left side. Something I have wondered for the past year, just never asked. I woke this morning with a small bruise at my port sight. So....what do you think? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
daisychains7 427 Posted August 25, 2012 That's a good question. I too get a soreness and pulling most of the time I lay on my left side. It scares me, so I only sleep on my stomach or right side. I am almost 4 months out so hope this discomfort goes away at some point. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ladybug_popo 5 Posted August 25, 2012 I have soreness sometimes at my port site too, but never anything that caused a bruise. I had soreness for a couple of months, but after that it went away. You might want to ask your surgeon at your next visit. GL! U Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grandma3 73 Posted August 25, 2012 I only had soreness for a few days after surgery. My port is right out there where you can see it sticking out but I do not have any problems sleeping on it. I would ask your doctor about it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SageTracey 608 Posted August 25, 2012 I seriously doubt that you could damage your port from sleeping on that side otherwise there would be plenty of posts/threads about just that on this forum. It may be uncomfortable but that would be all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
