When you started exercising, did your port area start feeling tender? It feels the way a bruised area feels; it only feels tender if you actually touch it or bending certain ways.

Yes! And it still does at times. I have mentioned it to him before and he told me to take tylenol and if needed put the heating pad on. It's never been sore enough for me to get my lazy butt up to get the heating pad though..lol..feel better.

I've skipped crunches on the real sore days.

Wish you were coming tonight

Very normal...I would say. Actually I still feel tender around mine. It comes and goes so I guess it just depends on the day. But now I just had mine flipped in March so it's still kinda new...The other when it got older never bothered me.

Yup, normal. See?! You are NORMAL! How's that for a great start to a great day?! LOL (sometimes it's the little things)
