Help :/

I've been banded about 6 months now, and a couple of days ago I got this weird pain around my port, it eventually went away but now it's come back, I've had it for about 2 hours now, it's kind of hard to explain, it's almost like a throbbing pain, it's no excruciating but it's not very comfortable either! Has anyone had this pain before? If it doesn't stop soon I'm ready to call my doctor :/
