sore incisions

[lovecats85 2]

Ok so my 2 larger incisions are still sore. They get way more sore at night. I'm ot even sure which one is my port! I am scared sh**less of getting a port infection that I know I'm freaking myself out here but when are these incisions going to heal up and not be at all sore?

My port location is also more sore in the evening - probably all the reaching and bending through out the day that does it. I had my 3 week check up last monday and asked the doctor if all the bending and streching (reaching for things) would hurt anything inside and he said that once my incisions are healed (which they are quite nicely) that I should not worry about hurting anything inside with normal physical activity. He did state that because I now have a lump of hard plastic in me that if I lay on it while exercising or lean against it that it is going to hurt - after all it is a lump of hard plastic. So I think this evening soreness is normal and as long as your incisions are healed well you should be fine to. If it eases your mind call the doc and ask him - that's what we pay them the big bucks for.

Hope your pain free soon!

I never had an infection or anything but my incision especially the port one hurt for a good 3 weeks or so before they started to feel better. I remember it hurting more at night too and I couldnt sleep on my side for a couple of weeks.
