Port hurts

I was banded a week ago and doing great!!! Yesterday I slipped on some ice and caught myself, and minor pain but nothing serious. Took a nap later in the day and woke up with my port area hurting. Not sure if muscle or if port detached. Its just more sore than it had been. So my question is has this happened to anyone else and please tell me its just muscle soreness?

M Dr said the port is attached to the muscle so you are probably just sore for the muscle hurting

Thats what I was thinking, because it would have hurt right when I slipped if it tore. Thank you for the reassurance :)

I was banded a week ago Monday and this has happened to me. I can even be bending wrong or turn the wrong way. The pain goes away quickly but I'm reminded to take it a little easier. If you continue to have the pain, please call your doctor. Best wishes.
