30 days out - port still hurts when...

I still feel pain around my port when I bend over. Does anyone else feel this?

Before my port I was able to bend over and do anything. Now when I bend over on the left hand side (to put on shoes or lotion) it hurts. I have to find another angle to do what I need.

Just curious if I'm the only one.

I'm not sure if it my port or not but I posted about this yesterday since I am feeling discomfort as well. I feel it when I bend but sometimes it hurts just walking around. Someone mentioned to me that it might be scar tissue. Where exactly is your pain? Mine is on the left as well but actually a couple of inches above my port scar. According to what I have read it will get better soon!

I'm also just over a month post op and feel the same discomfort. It hurts when I bend over, twist, or put pressure where my port is. Also kind of strange that I can actually feel my port, that is very weird to me. I also notice that if I get really tired or am up late at night, my port starts to bother me. Hopefully as time goes on it will get better!

Mine is directly where the port is. It's aggravating, but not the end of the world.

If I sit still too long, I do feel pain sometimes when I stand. I imagine that will get better, too. It's hard reading other people's post and they're practically running marathons now. LOL.

I know, I know...be patient; every one's body is different. :rolleyes:
