my port hurts

Banded 8 weeks ago. When I stretch, bend, and even sneeze I feel soreness in the port. I was to the doctor and he no trouble adding 2cc. He said he feels scar tissue but nothing to be done. Anyone have port pain?

I'm 4.5 months out and I have port pains often. My NP says that's normal since it is attached to my ab muscle and located at my waist. Every time I bend or use my core (which is often) I can feel my port. It's not always pain, but it's a sensation that I KNOW it's there. Hang in there!
