I am almost six months post-surgery. Today I began having port pain for the first time ever!!! It's not severe, just a definite twinge here and there that has lasted throughout the day. I haven't done anything strenuous that would have caused any kind of pulled muscle. I probably wouldn't even be very concerned about it, except we leave for vacation early Saturday morning, and there's no way I can take off any time tomorrow to run up to my doctor's office and let them check it out if I call them.

Does anyone have any experience with port pain this far out from surgery and its possible causes?

Sorry. The only time my port hurts is for a couple of days following a fill. My last fill, he stuck me about 15 times so I was quite sore for about a week. And bruised. Did you maybe bump it or something?

OMG, 15 times!!!! Wow, I hope he numbed you up before he started sticking. I've not had a fill in almost a month. That's what's really bothering me, is there is no explanation for why I would start having this pain all of a sudden.
