Jumping irritate Port Site?

I have been working out pretty steady since I was 6 weeks out from surgery. It was my second time taking a class called Total Body Tune up which is modeled after the Insanity program.

We did a LOT of jumping in this particular class and I noticed my port site was starting to feel really tender during and after class so I calmed down the jumping - but have any of you ever had this problem?

My dr. said that there should be no problems with any exercise, just stop if it hurts.

Thoughts? I don't want to mess something up.

Well I'm about a year and a half out from surgery so it may be different, but we do a lot of jumping in our cross training class but so far it doesn't seem to be affecting my port at all. I don't know if your place wiLl do this, but at our place the trainers will modify exercises to suit individual needs. So maybe tell them that the jumping is tricky and see if they can suggest an alternative exercise?

Im 9 weeks post-op and recently started working out to that Wii Active game. I've noticed after the work-out , which includes running, my port site gets reallly sore. I dont know if its the port itself or just muscles in the area that havent been worked out in a long time :(
