Soreness around my port area after walking

My co-workers have organized a power walk everyday around 1:00 PM. They would walk about 45 minutes - around 1.5 miles. I joined them today. I tried to catch up with them as they walked faster than I did (they are all taller and slimmer than I am). In the course of walking, I felt the area to the left of my incision / port (my port is located right above the big incision) sore. It was bearable soreness. I am just wondering if it is okay to continue walking with them even though I might feel a little soreness around my port area.

My port area is sore sometimes with exercise, especially if I'm doing something new. It is on your abdominal wall and doing activities that your body is not yet used to will naturally cause some soreness here. It should go away. If it does not, talk with you Dr.

Thanks, after the walking, the soreness does go away. Sounds like I should keep up with the good tradition in our office and continue to walk with them for 50 minutes a day.

You're welcome. I notice it most when I'm doing aerobics, but it is usually gone by the next day. Good luck!
