Sore Port - Out of the Blue



Recommended Posts

My port is sore today. It is not painful, just really tender. I have had occasional tenderness related to abdominal exercise . . . but this is just a little different.

I had a fill last Tuesday. I am very diligent about daily exercise, but did not do anything much yesterday. I am not sure if this is unusual or not.

Anyone else have occasional mysterious soreness in this area?

Hey there! I was banded 1/30, and I have soreness in my port area sometimes, too. Just outta the blue, it will start to ache and be sore to the touch, but it only lasts a day or two. My Dr says this is normal, so I trust him. :blush:

Hmm, I don't know if I've had port-soreness per se but every once and a while I get a "cramp like gas pain" near my port but my doc doesn't seem concerned so neither am I. If it gets too bad or you are worried just make a quick call to you dr's office - I'm sure it's nothing to worry about (but I'm not a doctor nor do I play one on TV or the internet!)

I would call the doctor, especially if its not the same feeling you get from the abdominal exercises. It could be related to your fill.

I can feel mine through the skin now, so occasionally I am bumping it on my desk and its tender. But when I feel it with my hands nothing.:confused2:

My port got sore out of the blue for about 2 days. it felt like pulling and sharp. It ended up being a suture that pulled out or broke. My port is close to the skin so I could feel it poking at me. I have to get the piece of suture removed. Crazy, huh?
