it is a common problem this soon after surgery. ice has helped some. also don't forget to take your pain pills you still need them. if you are worried about infection the signs of infection is fever, redness and increased swelling. if you are scared, call your surgeon. you will feel better soon. wish you well

I would make sure you do not have any infection.. however the port area is sore after surgery for awhile. this was my largest incision and it took a little longer to heal... as always check with your Dr. to make sure everything is normal... make sure you are taking your meds and don't strain yourself getting up and down.. use a pillow for support... hope you feel better soon...

I had my surgery in April and to this day if I pull too hard it will hurt for a day or so, but it has to be real hard that I pull. The pain will go away but it took my port site about 4 weeks for the constant pain to go away now I only hurt when I strain that muscle too much.

Where is your port located? Mine is my lower left side by my abdomin. Below a belt line.

Oh okay. My port is above my left boob and my scar is between my chest and left underarm. That's why it felt better to me to wear a bra lol!

I had the left shoulder pain that was very painful more so than anything else. It is the vagus nerve that runs from your diaphragm to your left shoulder and it gets irritated during surgery. A cough, a hiccup, and a burp would all make my shoulder hurt. Ice packs helped the most and it finally went away after about three weeks.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
