Post op Pain

Trae · April 15, 2008

I had surgery back in Feb, and I still have pain near my port site. I just wanted to know if anyone else is experiencing the same thing. My Dr. says it's normal, but it just feels pretty severe, like a pulled muscle. I sit all day at my job and thats when it hurts the worst, I feel best if I'm standing or lying down. Any feedback about this would be great, like is the pain going to eventually go away, or is this something I'll have to deal with forever?

I am going on 4wks post op and still struggling with the same thing, but my friend is a year out and still occasionally has pain at her port site. Hopefully, someone with more experience can help you out.

I just had surgery monday 14th 2008 and i can't bind over cause it shocks me. It's the worse pain ever. It's hard to get on the toliet and some chairs i can't it in cause it's to low. The keep telling me that it's my port but it's below the area that hurts. what doctors need to figure something out to get this to not hurt so badly..I guess it's a side affect, but a hurt side affect..

Yeah right after surgery I was in so much pain, for like 2 straight weeks I pretty much stayed in bed. My Dr said it's cause they seperate the muscle, you never realize how much you use your abs for EVERYTHING until you go thru something like this!

I am about two weeks out and still feel numbness around the port area. Also, I feel cramps at times. It feels like I drank a lot of Water and then started jogging and then cramp up. I find this comes about when I sit for a long time. Does this happen to anyone?
