my port hurts

[Lorettanjgal 19]

Banded 8 weeks ago. When I stretch, bend, and even sneeze I feel soreness in the port. I was to the doctor and he no trouble adding 2cc. He said he feels scar tissue but nothing to be done. Anyone have port pain?

I had port pain but it turned into a port infection

for the first month, my port was tender (yes bending, sneezing, moving)

i asked my dr and he said it was the scar tissue forming

felt like it was pulling/stretching...a weird feeling to describe

it does/will get better......however if it red, warm to touch, oozing

then get get your butt to the dr

it will get better

hang in there

I'm 4.5 months out and I have port pains often. My NP says that's normal since it is attached to my ab muscle and located at my waist. Every time I bend or use my core (which is often) I can feel my port. It's not always pain, but it's a sensation that I KNOW it's there. Hang in there!
