Port flipping

I think my port may have tilted some, or flipped........... during a wild escapade last night! If this has happened would it hurt? i have no pain but it feels funny when I touch it.

LOL, Im not sure what is going on. When I touch my side it feels like the port is turned on its side......strange.

I know this post has nothing to do with your port - you just wanted a chance to brag about your wild escapade last night!! lol :D

Does your doc suture your port down? If not, the port very well could have moved. As long as it's not causing you pain, no worries - it can be manipulated back upright at your next fill, or if you're not squeamish you could do it yourself if it's bothering you.

Me - I'm squeamish. :)

If your doc DOES suture the port down, and it doesn't hurt... Well, I guess it could have moved without causing pain, but I know that mine hurt like a @#$^^!@#$$@#$#!! when I tore one of my sutures. And then when the port turned it was extremely uncomfortable.

My doc was able to turn it back - ah, sweet relief!!! But it wouldn't stay, so I had it resutured down, because mine was extremely uncomfortable when it wasn't lying the way it was supposed to.

So... No pain? I wouldn't worry.

And don't think I've forgotten your post was REALLY just to tell us about last night... :D

You guys are too much!! ROTFLMAO!!! Anyways, I had my port flipped. I didn't feel any pain at all and had I not went in for a fill I never would have even known it was flipped. It was fixed during a day surgery - piece of cake!!!
