cant find port!!!

[sstimpy 0]

I had my first fill on thursday, my Dr. had a very hard time finding my port. After being stuck 100 times finally he did it under xray and got it. I was in so much pain afterward. Did anyone else ever have this problem?:smile::cheers2:

Yes...They had trouble finding my port and after a couple of fills that missed...the doctor said the port is a bit sideways. He finallly hit it without having to xray and now I'm having very good results. It was very frustrating during that initial period though but now I'm thrilled.

I think after about the 5th time, I would have smacked my doctor! No way would he have done it 100 times.

When you said he did it under x-ray, was it florouscopy? Did he check to see if your port was in proper position or if it had turned abit or flipped? The only time my doctor has not gotten my port on the very first try was when it flipped.

:confused:yes I do remeber the Dr saying floro....something he was able to get to the port much bettter after so I guess that it did not flip
