Soreness

[Banana2363 21]

When does port area soreness go away?? I am 11 days post op and I try not to bend cause it is so sore.

I had surgery on 9-6-2012 and as of this week I have not had any soreness.

I was just like you. My port soreness lasted a full two weeks. I even had my pain script refilled once (had to call the surgeon when it ran out). Every person is different, and each surgery/surgeon unique so while one person may feel little discomfort post op, another person may feel extreme discomfort that last a few weeks. Hang in there. It will get better. I actually cried one night to my husband b/c I didn't believe I would ever be able to sleep on my sides again, and that is the only way I can sleep comfortably! Well, I am sleeping on my sides fine now, so I can only imagine you will find relief before long too. It is worth it in the end! Good luck!

Mine lasted several weeks, 2-3, now I hardly know it is there unless I bump it or panty hose rub over it.

I had discomfort for about a month on my port side. The doctor said it is where they do the most invasive cutting (largest incision) and stitching, etc so it would take the longest to heal. Hang in there. What bothered me most was sitting at my desk all day as it felt like it was compressed.
