A flipped port?

[klutzyazhel 0]

Just wanting to know if anybody had/has a port that flipped and how did you know? I'm having some port pain and it feels a little different but not sure don't have an appointment for 3 more weeks, not in a hurry to go because I think I'm at my sweet spot.

My port flipped and they found it on a xray. My surgeon had tried and tried to give me a fill with no luck so that is why we went for the xray. I will tell you that I had no pain when it flipped I didn't know that it happend. I have since had the surgery to fix the port. Let me know if you have any other questions?

Good luck Angela

Mine isn't flipped but it's tilted slightly. According to my surgeon, it isn't that rare. And no I'd never have known it was tilted if he hadn't told me it was.

Thanks. I will find out at my next appointment, not looking to get another fill yet though..would there be any other reasons that the port area would be tender??
