twitching and spasms at incision sites

8 full days after being banded, my port site incision is still a bit sore. The rest are okay, a bit itchy though sometimes. However, sometimes I get some pretty serious spasms and twitches in the incisions that kind of hurt a little.

anyone experience this kind of behavior ?

I've had a few of those. Feels weird. Not so much painful, as it is unexpected. I think it's your system adjusting to the band being there. After I few days I didn't feel them anymore. If it's a problem, you may want to call your surgeon's office and ask them what's up with it.

I found wearing the restricting band they put on me after surgery was really uncomfortable after a few days, because the hair on my stomach area was starting to grow back. I was getting a razor itch kind of thing. Removing the restricting band and give my incisions "air time" helped a lot. After a few days that also subsided. Now, if I wear the restrictive band, I put a t-shirt on under it.

I'm 5 weeks post op from getting port revised. I get massive iching and spasms at port and incisions, but, is getting better day at a time. I notice that when I exercise I tend to get the spasms. Ice helps. I also notice that the itching gets really bad with gas in the belly. GaxX or mylanta helps with this. It gets extremely frustrating. Hang in there. Jake
