Spasms at the port site

Does anyone else experience episodes of lengthy spasms at the port site? This happens regularly to me, it's not at all painful when it happens more annoying. I also every now and then, mainly when I twist or go from a sit to stand position to quickly get a little pain at the site, almost feels like it is pulling. Does anyone else experience this or am I just weird lol.

Yes Ma'am. I had stomach spasms for three days at one point. Yes I feel pain at my port site whenever I get up too fast from a seating position. All of this is normal. I am so happy you brought it up. I was starting to feel a little weird...lol.

Oh good I'm not the only one. i had my surgery 1 year ago and at the beginning thought it would go away as I healed. But one year on and it still happens. I suppose it's just all part of having a foreign object in the body.
