Port Question

I am 17 days post op. The first 4-5 days I was sore (obviously from my body going through surgery) but after that everything started feeling normal. The last two days, i have been having a lot of sensitivity at the port site and can feel it when laying a certain way or getting up from a chair or bed. Its not painful, just uncomfortable. Is this normal? Is it just because it's healing?

sounds like the scar tissue is forming around the port. when mine did (about a month out) it was very tender (it didnt hurt) just very tender when i touched it...so i assume as you lay on it, it would (hurt) somewhat. it will get better. i am just over 2 months out and it dont hurt at all nor do i realize its there (unless i seek it out with my fingers)

all the best :)

Me too! I had surgery July 17th and was basically fine then this last week, if I get up too fast or turn a certain way, wow it feels like it's moved or stuck on my ribs or something! I go for my 1st fill on the 28th, if still like this will ask Dr. about it! Let me know if you hear anything!
