I have had a few stray pains. May just have been how u moved

I've never really had port pain, I have had situations where I have bent down in the shower or something and became of my port. But it has never been painful. I'm thinking you may have bent down too far or maybe too fast.. take your time you are still healing. Good Luck!

Does it still hurt? You may have popped a port stitch. TYhis happened to me a couple weeks back when I bent over int he shower. I happened to have a fill appt the next day and my surgeon took a look (or feel)...agreed it was probably one of 4 stitches that holds the port down. He made sure it was still laying flat and said not to worry about it. Scar tissue takes over the job of these stitches soon enough. So, you may have just pulled a stitch or it may have popped free. You might want to call your surgeon and just run it by them. Does the port still feel ok, like it's still laying flat? (my pain lasted almost 24 hours)

I get it some times as my band & port are high. My underwire bra sometimes hits my port. Hate wearing underwire bras now evenmore!
