Port Discomfort

[Domika03 309]

I've been experiencing a little port discomfort lately. It feels like a slight pull, and it's not all the time. In addition to that, I've been quite gassy / tummy very bubbly.

My port area definitely bothered me Sat night, when we were dancing at a Halloween party, later in the evening. I was actually rubbing it a little. It hurt to dance, but I still kept dancing.

Let me say, this has been happening on & off the last few weeks. Does it have anything to do with possibly being bloated (ocassionally constipated)?

Has anyone ever dealt with this discomfort?

I would suggest you both check with your doctors. You shouldn't be having pain at your port.

I hope you feel better soon.

Thanks AJ.

Tonyann > Sounds like we have the same issue. I'm actually going to take a pain pill now. I hope you feel better soon too. I have a Dr apt next Tuesday, so I think I'm going to mention this to the Dr & see what he says. Contact me Tuesday afternoon (if you remember & dont call yr Dr first), and I"ll let you know what he says.

That was happening to me and I ignored it cuz of my low tolerance for pain. I thought I was being too sensitive. Went in for my first fill and found out my port flipped 180°. Couldn't fill. Have to go back in and flip it right side up before I can get my first fill. I wish you guys the best with no complicatipns. If you're on MFP, Please look me up.

Some of you are familiar with my port flip issue. Today was my procedure to correct this. Dr went back in, repositioned it & re anchored it. Still have not had my first fill. He gave me 1cc just to facilitate the procedure. Full food and still no restriction. Next appointment 11/19/12 for possible first fill...UGH.
