Fill Question about trouble finding port

dicev · July 15, 2008

This is my 2nd fill. I had it today. Something kind of unusual happened and I wanted to ask and see if anyone has had this happen to them.

Dr's assistant went in and it was hard for the port to be found. The needle was in (no discomfort at this point), but he pushed farther and the needle went further in. I felt a hurting feeling and an odd sensation. I told my husband it was like the needle went where it shouldn't have been. I know no harm could have been done. If this were the case, they wouldn't be going in blind. Right??

I have been a bit uneasy since and dread the next fill. It wasn't painful, it's just eerie. No what I mean?

The Dr was asked to come in right after the mess and going in deeper.. The Dr with alittle adjustment of a pillow under my back and head down on table, went in with one try and with zero discomfort found the port and done. Anyone know what i experienced and why it felt so not right??

I have only had 1 fill and the doctor had a problem getting the needle in the right spot. After a lot of wiggling of the needle, he got the liquid in. I wanted him to be conservative with the fill--and it wasn't enough.I need another fill, but dread it.
