So what happens if you pop a port stitch?

Today marks the one week mark since I started having port pain. I went into the Dr last week (Mon) and he said that I probably pulled the muscle it is stitched in to. Well it still hurts to bend over or be too active and it is burning, stabbing pain. I'm going to go back in tomorrow morning. What do they do if you do "pop a stitch"? Does this mean I will have to have surgery to fix it?

I'm not sure what they do if you "pop a stitch", but I do know that when you pull a muscle in your abdomin it takes a LONG time to heal because you are almost always using them...it takes time.

Hey Zeama I just wanted to ask you if your stitch problem with your port went away. I ask because for almost 2 weeks now I have been having the same pain whenever I move or twist in a certain wait I get sharp pinches and pain around my port area and fear I may have pulled a stitch or something. I was just wondering what happend in your situation? Did it ever heal on its own or did you require revision surgery? Thanks in advance. :rolleyes2:

Well you have had a operation whether its keyhole or not, you obviously have been doing too much strenuous activity and pulled inside... you must rest and not lift anything and take regular painkillers 4 hourly..1 week is early days too much too soon take it easy!:rolleyes2:
