Pain under my large incision 2wks post op

karri68 · January 2, 2008

I was just wondering if anyone else has had this ,I read another thread but there pain was under there arms or in there shoulders,mine is a totally different place,it is tender to the touch, I am trying not to freak out. I have a support meeting in 2days will ask nurse if it doesn't get any worse by then. But it also my "time" would this cause the pain from all the bloating? Just curious. thanks everyone and HAPPY NEW YEAR!

I'm 5 weeks post op, and I too, have had pain right under my large incision. Now that you mention it, it was most bothersome during TOM, but also if I've eaten a larger meal... I'm getting a fill this week so hopefully those larger meals will be a thing of the past.

Well that's 3 of us, although my pain went away after a few days - I was told that it's something to do with the port being stitched into the muscle - but I'm not sure how.

My surgeon said the pain was because my port is sewn into the muscle. He said it would take a little more time to stop feeling pain there.

I don't know where my port is... my surgeon told me it would be right around my ribs and I have a small incision there with a bump under it... I think that's my port... so I still don't know about the pain with the large incision. I see my surgeon this week for a fill so I'll find out where my port is I guess.

my port is soo painful! It is still swollen, dr said it is normal bc it is sewn extra good to the muscle. Yuck!

Right under my large incision where my port is located was tender for couple weeks also but what made it worst was... I got sick and everytime I cough the port would push against my incision which wasnt a pleasent experience cause i was in tears sometime with the amount of pain. So now i'm not sick and my port area is little tender but i can manage.
