Pain on right side?

HAHAHA LOL... OK Hypochondriasis it is:nervous

Heh...

Lots of people complain of port pain. I have a lot of port site tenderness but I think that might be because since I have lost all the padding that used to cover it - things irritate it such as belts and such. There are days I can't run because my port hurts.

It's sewn into the fascia which is connective tissue above a muscle and below a fat pad and it takes very little to irritate it.

I have thought about all those things, but it is a sharp, stabbing pain that lasts two-three days and is worse pain then both my c-sections and my band surgery! I don't know for sure, but it seems like there is something wrong. I get better for a few days then it comes again. The only thing I can do is take 2 Vicodin and go to sleep! :tired It has been going on for the past 5 weeks, I am getting so tired of it. Hopefully it will just go away soon! Thank you for all of your imput, I have found it very valuable! :clap2:

I am totally new to all of this. What brought me to this site is the pain on my left side too. My port is under my left breast. For two to three weeks after my surgery, there was definately port pain whenever I moved or twisted, but that has totally healed. What I have had since I was banded the beginning of March is pain on my left side near my ribs. It does feel like a stitch and worsens if I take a deep breath. It is constant. I keep telling myself it will go away and get better and heal, but I am worried. It is great to hear that so many of you have this same pain!
