How long does it usually hurt???

i'm almost two weeks out, and mine still hurts... it gets better and better everyday, though.

4 weeks and it still hurts when I exercise.

Is it just sore hurt, or like incision pain hurt ?

The port site will hurt for a while. It is the largest, most invasive cut with the stitching, etc. Mine was sore for the first 4-6 weeks. It gets better though. Hang in there.

I'm about 3 months out and I hardly notice mine anymore. I asked my nurse today if that was normal, she said that I had a new slimmer port and that I really shouldn't feel it unless it gets hit directly or after a fill.

I am eight weeks out and can honestly say that just this week I can't even tell where it is! Cannot feel the port anymore!

Gosh the past day or so its really sore, I still have the bandages on (9 days post op) and there is no redness to make me think infection but I am pretty sure that big lump is the port and associated swelling. It's actually most sore next to the bandage (vs under) where the lump is. I assume this is what you are all taking about?

Hi Dolphintat, I don't have any lumps. Ya the other incisions are fun, just the port, guess this takes longer o heal.

I'm 2 weeks out and I have lumps in all the incisions but I was told it was the stiches they put from the inside. As for pain I feel nothing. Last week the incisions were all itchy and drove me crazy but this weekend I am able to lay on my stomach and I feel perfectly normal.

Is it the norm for the port to be above the largest incision? My surgery was on the 7th & that is the only place that I have experienced pain, I thought it was my port. Now, when I lay down I can feel a hard bump just beside it in the center of my abdomen about 5" above my belly button & this is where the real deep pain is coming from. I'm not sure where my port is, I asked the recovery room nurses before I was discharged & they said they weren't sure & that my surgeon had just gone began her next surgery.
