Ladies: port pain during your period?

Hi,
I'm 11 months out from surgery, and last month, I got a bad pain in my port area. It's like a stabbing, pulling, pinching, burning pain. It was so bad I could hardly walk. It lasted for about five days, so I went to the doctor. She gave me Celebrex and told me to take it for two weeks. Well, after one Celebrex, the pain disappeared and stayed away for three and a half more weeks. Now, this month, the pain is back. What I noticed is that both times, I've had my period. Could it be related? It's a severe pain that happens mostly when I move around or walk. My port is located right above my belly button and a little to the left. Yesterday, it was so bad I could hardly stand up. I took a Celebrex and two Tylenol, and felt 100% better. Today it's back to being slightly sore. Anyone else experience something similar?
