Pain in port site when exercising.



Recommended Posts

I have been doing the 30 day squat challenge and I keep feeling a pulling very painful sensation right where my port is when doing the exercise. It almost feels like it is ripping or flipping if that makes sense. Does this happen to anyone else? I refuse to give up! I'm on day 27!

I've been banded since 4/30/12.

Have it checked. I'm having a port replacement on May 10th.

I felt a pain just turning in bed. It woke me up enough to be concerned. Sure enough, when I went for a fill the doctor couldn't do it because my port flipped, movements can pull your port out if you're not careful. I did mine in my sleep but the pain was enough to wake me up.

Good luck whatever you decide.

hmm, still very early banded....i know my port area was very sore/tender for about a month esp with the scar tissue forming around it...it def gave me a pulling sensation....if you are concerned, call and discuss with your doctor. (did he okay you to exercise so soon after surgery as it was 4/30 by your post)?

I had to look twice myself...but her date was in 2012 and not just this year. At first I thought she must be super woman to be rocking a squat challenge so soon after being banded....LOL.... :P

I can feel it, my doc said it's normal, especially when doing ab work. If it hurts I stop.
