I'm 8 days postop and For the last few days I've been having a lot of pain just under the left side of my left ribcage after I rolled over in bed a couple of nights ago and felt like something pulled or tore (like muscle pain). Today I started kind of pushing around on the area and I can feel a definite firm roundish thing almost feels like it could be the port. However, my largest incision is in my midline about three inches right of the pain/hard spot. I assumed the port would be directly under the largest incision, or at least AN incision site. Anyone know if this could be my port still? Could I have just pulled out a stich or something? Or maybe if this IS my port than the pain isn't so unreasonable for it just being 8 days after something has been stiched to the muscle. Thoughts please? I'm trying to figure it all out and not worry. I'm calling the office tomorrow but I don't REALLY want to make the 2 hour drive down there if its a normal thing ya know???
