  • Yes port pain is common. I can also recur even after over a year with excess abdominal work or lifting.

I would imagine with the movement you are stretching your abdominal muscles a bit which is putting some tension on the port sutures making it sore. Until the area is all healed, you will feel some soreness with various activities. I am over two months out and this weekend at work I had to carry 2 pagers on my waistband which is right at the level of my port and I was a bit tender by the end of the weekend. It wasn't until the second night when I leaned up against the counter that I realized what was causing the irritation!

yep lifted a case of water at Walmart the other day and felt a little tug.. My Dr. said take 6 weeks to heal before doing anything strenuous.. I walked and started swimming but no eliptical.. I hate that machine anyway... so I have stuck to the treadmill and swimming since my 6 week checkup..
