incision pain

So I am 10 days post op and the incision where my port is has started hurting like crazy! It didnt hurt for the first week but the past few days has been hell! Every time I lay on it or push it against something it hurts so bad! And to make matters worse I sleep on my stomach. Ughh has anyone else had this problem or is something wrong? Im kinda freakin out

    Call your doctor. We're not doctors and can't diagnose you over the internet.

    having someone say call your doctor is the right thing to do. you are not stuck, you can call his office/speak to his nurse or even the local ER if you are concerned.. if it is not red, oozing, hot

I asked if someone has had that problem before. Im sorry but I kinda took that comment as rude and I dont appreciate that. I wasnt asking for a diagnosis and I cannot call my doctor until monday so therefore im stuck

if it is not red, oozing, hot to touch, it is most likely fine

its sore/healing as the dr cut you and sewn something

into your skin so its gonna be uncomfy.

Some people just have port pain but personally my pain was similar to you (fine at first, got worse) and it ended up being an infection and it took 2 months to clear up. Better to stop it earlier. You can ask the doc to run some test and see what the infection is (staph, bacteria, ect).
