Aaaggghhh!!! My Port!!!

Where is your port located? Mine is so far up on my left side, just under my ribs and very close to the surface. It sticks out so far it is visible thru my shirt and bothers my very badly. Every day by early evening I am in pain all around and under my port area. I am only 9 days out, so is this normal? I am really worried about its placement!

Mine is placed in about the same spot, but it wasn't near the surface and it wasn't sticking out. Have you asked your doctor? If your in a lot of pain you should go see him, and see whats going on. I was still in quiet a bit of port pain 9 days out though as well. I think it was at least a week before I could even sleep flat on my bed, the rest of the nights were spent on the recliner. I would be more concerned about it sticking out.

You could still be swollen following the surgery, my port area took the longest to feel good. If it continues I would call the doctor.

My port area still hurts. I think it is normal. From what I have read that is the area that takes the longest to heal. If it is sticking out I would ask the doctor. It may just be swelling, but it does not hurt to ask.

Hope your pain meds/ Tylenol help. :love:
