Port Pain

I'm 2 weeks post op. I was doing some things around the house but nothing too strenuous. All of a sudden I started having pain where my port site is. Anytime I move it hurts really bad. It's a muscular pain. Did anyone else feel this?

For the first two or three weeks I would have a sharp pain near the port when I would bend over. About week three or four, I started moving around a lot more and it felt like I pulled a stomach muscle. That pain was tough and lasted almost two weeks. I thought I had dislodged the port. It's been almost two months now, and it's still tender at times, but nothing like it was. My doc says that's normal. Hope you feel better soon :)

Oh good to know! The pain isn't too bad I was just worried

I was wondering about the port pain also. I am a massage therapist, and I returned to work 6 days post op and I have had the port pain to. I also experience it when I eat sometimes too. I thought maybe it had flipped of something. I don't see my Dr. until 2/25. Does the left side of your stomach stick out more than the right?

Yes my left side did stick out more than my right
