Is your port directly under your incision site?



Recommended Posts

I'm 8 days postop and For the last few days I've been having a lot of pain just under the left side of my left ribcage after I rolled over in bed a couple of nights ago and felt like something pulled or tore (like muscle pain). Today I started kind of pushing around on the area and I can feel a definite firm roundish thing almost feels like it could be the port. However, my largest incision is in my midline about three inches right of the pain/hard spot. I assumed the port would be directly under the largest incision, or at least AN incision site. Anyone know if this could be my port still? Could I have just pulled out a stich or something? Or maybe if this IS my port than the pain isn't so unreasonable for it just being 8 days after something has been stiched to the muscle. Thoughts please? I'm trying to figure it all out and not worry. I'm calling the office tomorrow but I don't REALLY want to make the 2 hour drive down there if its a normal thing ya know???

Well my port is right under my left ribcage about 2 inches from center. It is right under the largest incision but being 6 months out the scar doesnt sit right on top of it. I would think that it would be real close to it though. I would definately call the surgeon. Maybe they even have an emergency number. I cant imagine that if you pulled the port out of place that it would move 3 inches. Can you remember if it was there before you pulled it?
