I've started running in the last few months, and I've noticed lately that when I run I get to a certain point and my port-or the muscle surrounding my port- hurts very badly. It's a sharp shooting pain similar to a muscle cramp, but quite a bit worse. It usually sets in after the one mile mark, and I have to stop and walk and take deep breaths to make it go away.

Has anyone had this happen to them before? I think I may call my Dr. on Monday, because I'm suppose to do a half marathon next month but my port pain has been so unpredictable I'm not sure I'll be able to.

I have to wear a compression top under my shirts when running to stop my stomach from bouncing up and down or else my port pulls and it hurts really bad.

Don't know if this is a problem for you, but just figured I'd throw it out there.

Good luck with your half marathon!!

I've had this pain happen too, however not very often. Let me know what the Doctor says... I'm curious what it could be. Good luck :w00t:

Same here: lots of loose flesh now that flops when I do bouncy exercises and put a strain on the muscle with the port in it.

I actually found an old sports bra with the straps cut off and pulled down around my ribs worked fine. Just something to give a little extra support to that muscle area.
