Port flipping

[Kyleighp 3]

I think my port may have tilted some, or flipped........... during a wild escapade last night! If this has happened would it hurt? i have no pain but it feels funny when I touch it.

Wow, Kyleight, I sure hope not! Now if I could just get these mental images out of my head of "a wild escapade".

LOL, Im not sure what is going on. When I touch my side it feels like the port is turned on its side......strange.

I know this post has nothing to do with your port - you just wanted a chance to brag about your wild escapade last night!! lol

Does your doc suture your port down? If not, the port very well could have moved. As long as it's not causing you pain, no worries - it can be manipulated back upright at your next fill, or if you're not squeamish you could do it yourself if it's bothering you.

Me - I'm squeamish.

If your doc DOES suture the port down, and it doesn't hurt... Well, I guess it could have moved without causing pain, but I know that mine hurt like a @#$^^!@#$$@#$#!! when I tore one of my sutures. And then when the port turned it was extremely uncomfortable.

My doc was able to turn it back - ah, sweet relief!!! But it wouldn't stay, so I had it resutured down, because mine was extremely uncomfortable when it wasn't lying the way it was supposed to.

So... No pain? I wouldn't worry.

And don't think I've forgotten your post was REALLY just to tell us about last night...

O.K., Donali, come clean! How did you really flip your port?

I was gonna go home and tell my husband to flip my port, but then I remember I don't have a port. I guess I'll just have to ask him to make my ears bleed instead. DOH!

You guys are too much!! ROTFLMAO!!! Anyways, I had my port flipped. I didn't feel any pain at all and had I not went in for a fill I never would have even known it was flipped. It was fixed during a day surgery - piece of cake!!!
