I could use a little help here. I have been having port pain lately and it is swollen to the touch and when I have to flex in the area of the pain, especially when getting up to stand or reclining to sit down. Other than that, I feel fine.

The pain is significant enough that I took one of the percocets left over from after the surgery, and its cutting down on the pain.

My question is: Is this necessary to see the doctor for? I had the surgery 1/30/2006 and up until 2 days ago, my port hasn't been a problem at all. I truly believe that I must've twisted the wrong way while I slept and thats what caused the pain. Also, one other thing I'd like to know is: by now the stitches should be gone, shouldn't they?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Jesse
