Hi - I don't really have an answer to your question, but I was just wondering how you were doing at this point? I'm 2 weeks post op and I work in a very fast paced, physical mail processing (presort) enviroment. I'm going back to work in about a week and a little worried. I've read that many people go back to work immediately, but mostly have desk jobs - not heavy lifting, bending, stretching etc. I hope you are doing better at this time. Can you let me know/post if your job duties did cause any problems. Thanks!

I had my done on the 7th of March and am experiencing pain in the left side as well. Going to give it a couple of days more to see if it subsides. But I've spoken to the Dr.'s office so they know it's happening.

Your port area can hurt up to as much as six months. Because it is sewn in the muscle it takes a long time to heal
