Port Pain

[Mellie 0]

I am almost 4 weeks post op and just now experiencing some pain in my port area. It feels like a sore pinching pain when I move. Has anybody else experienced this? I'm not sure if I have done something to make it hurt.

I am over 9 months post op and I still experience little 'twitches'. For the first few weeks post op I couldn't dry my left leg after getting out of the shower as it pinched when I bent over.

Unless the pain is really quite bad, I would put it down to the fact that you have a foreign object inside your body so there is bound to be the odd time where it feels uncomfortable. But of course if it is too bad there could be an infection. Redness of the skin in that area would be a sign.

Your port is usually the first thing to hurt and the last thing to heal.

Thanks for the replies! I hope it's nothing. There isn't any swelling or redness around the incision, so that's a good thing.
