pain at one end of port site after op

thistledo · January 18, 2008

hi all

just wondered if someone couldhelp. i was banded 48 hrs ago and feel ok except for what feels like tearing at one end of my port incision when i move around.

i had something similar when i had my gall bladder out, so of course i've done nothing, and now it's the weekend and i wondered if i should go to an after hours doc or something.

i'm not taking any pain meds, and slept ok last night. it's just when i move around. it's like a hot searing pain.

thanks

I don't know if this will help you, but I still get that deep, tearing pain when I move the wrong way and I'm 4-1/2 weeks out. I still can't roll over in bed because it's so uncomfortable. I also had my gallbladder out before this and know what surgical pain is like. But, I'm even wondering if it should be like this at this stage. "I feel your pain!" Good luck.

thanks moosictcher

it makes a difference to know that someone understands and it sounds very very similar! i am a big coward when it comes to medical things and tend to panic on weekends!

thanks for posting... if you are doing ok with it then i can too! this place is such a big help!
