Port pain

My port started hurting a bit last week. It hurts if I move the wrong way or carry something a bit heavy.

I am scared to death that my port flipped from the things that I have read.

My port has always been sensitive but now there is a pulling every now and then inside. I think now I am hyper sensitive to anything that goes on.

Any ideas what it may really be?

I am going for a fill tomorrow so I will see for sure.

Can you remember doing anything unusual or that would put extra strain on your abs? Have you talked to your surgeon or fill person about this?

My port flipped and I had no symptoms. I didn't know what was happening until my surgeon's NP had a harder and harder time accessing my port for fills.

I wouldn't wish a port flip on anyone, but in the grand scheme of things, it's a relatively minor blip. My port flip was fixed with same-day surgery. Not fun, but totally worth it because when I was able to resume fills afterwards, my appetite and physical hunger nose-dived.
