Painful sensation under port

[TulipStar 2]

About 10 inches under my port scar I keep getting a stabbling pain, then it feels like a burning sensation. It is very painful and I immediately have to try to straighten up to relieve the pain. This has been going on for 3 days now.

I am 11 days PO.

Does anyone know what this is? could i have nerve damage? It is quite bothersome and hurts when I am sitting or bend a certain way. It also happens first thing in the morning when I wake up and try to get out of bed.

Today it happened when I was driving and I almost had to pull over.

I had that for a few weeks. It is 90% gone 6 weeks post op.

Today I am 4 weeks, 2 days post-op. For about 2 weeks it ached under and around the incision but then disappeared. When I awakened today my right side under my port was hurting. It is tender to the touch and like you I am a bit concerned. It also aches about 4 inches below in incision. I'm hoping this is just normal healing sensations just as KarenG stated but it has thrown me off a bit. That along with my right eye hurting and running makes for a close to bed day. I've been lying down mostly and only eating just because I need to (still on mushie stage). Maybe someone can shed some light on this too? I favor my right side as I sleep and am really trying to break that habit. Could this have something to do with it?

I'm interested on any comments.

I had somehting similar as reagrds the inicsion on my left side. If I got into the wrong position, I would get a really bad burning sensation. So I tried not to get in that position (J/K).

It does seem to be getting gradually better as I heal up.

I post a complaint about the pain and what happens? it goes away!! just like when something is wrong and I make a dr. appt...then it goes away!

I am happy it went away bc it was sooo annoying.

Based on everyone's responses it seems that it is normal and part of the healing process. I feel like I should be able to run in the olympics again but have to remember that I am still recovering from surgery!
