it has been 6 months since I had surgery and today is the first day I am having pain at the port site, im wondering is this normal ? it is really sore when I move or touch the area....any advice??? im a little scared

Could you describe the pain? Is it like a dull ache like it's sore or sharp like it's pinching? Do you correlate it with anything like after standing for a long time, exercising, or ???

One thing to remember is that as you lose weight, your port will become more prominent because there's less and less fat covering it. This makes it easier to palpate, but without padding, it can also be easier to irritate. Depending on where your port lies, tight clothing can do it. Perhaps you started a new workout routine and the pulling and turning is causing it to pull at the sutures and scar tissue.

Real concern comes with apparent swelling (think golf ball), hot to touch, any Fluid filled pockets etc which is pointing towards infection opposed to irritation.

Tell us more so we can try to help, but also consult w/ your doc

Thanks, there is no swelling and its not hot, reading your response helps me alot I did wear some jeans that kept rubbing up against the area my port is located wright under left rib cage and sometimes clothes rub up against the area, but I have never felt it like this, its just a sore aching feeling and I walked 4 miles yesterday for the first time so that may be the cause also, thank you ill watch it, I think I just got a little worked up....thanks again <3
