Port Pain

I'm Day 9 Post Op. I'm wondering if other people can feel their ports under their skin and what it feels like. Mine protrudes and I'm afraid I've done something to make it go sideways. It feels like one edge of it is sticking out and it hurts really bad to touch it. I'm wondering if it's normal.

I am 8 days post op. I can feel my port easily but it feels flat and flush with my abdominal wall muscles. It doesn't hurt when I push on it. I would call my surgeons office tomorrow if I were you. Have you been throwing up? Coughing? Anything vigorous that might have flipped your port?

You still have a lot of swelling right now as your body is healing, it will get better with time. I can feel mine and depending on what position I am in, it feels a little different.

I have been doing great otherwise. No nausea at all. I have been taking it pretty easy. It definitely feels like a hard edge sticking up.
