port sore

[deehat 0]

When i woke up yesterday i did a big side stretch not thinking of my port area and it felt like i pulled something it was a sharp pull and now its sore and tender at the port site and its like a dull ache. Do you think i pulled it apart or damage something its still tender today, I will call the dr. on monday but im worried because its so sore, even to put my shoes on this morning it ached. im into my 3rd week.

I had something very simiular happen to me about 3 weeks ago. Went to doc and yes I do believe I tore some stitches loose. Just had to rest for a few weeks until they grew back together or whatever. It was swollen and red he also put me on antibotics.

Hello,

I have the same problem. I'm just at my three week mark, and today at work, I bent over and twisted a bit to the right, and now my port side is sore. My port is low and when I move the right (or wrong way), I feel like I"m being poked. If I'm still achy tomorrow, I"m call the drs.

I feel your pain... literally.

This happened to me 2 weeks post OP.. the doc said as long as it isnt red or hot, you are ok.. They sew the port to the stomach muscle and it makes the muscle really tender.. turned out, I just pulled a muscle there.. I was fine in a couple of days..

HTH,

I'm 8 months out and sometimes my port is still a little sore, particularly after a fill. It can be a little uncomfortable to press on and sometimes sends a sharp shooting pain out if I move the wrong way.

This must be something going around, I woke up this a.m. and port kinda swollen and weird felling once in a while. I gained 3 pounds when I weighed in this am and almost commented harry carry. Don't know what the problem is but hope it goes away pronto. Sometimes I wonder about this surgery and how it does some weird things like this. I haven't eaten nothing more than usual.
