Ok - so I make comments but I usually don't start my own thread - lol. As you all my know, I had my surgery in 9/13. I've been doing pretty good, been eating right and trying to do all the right things. Today I'm going about my business, cleaning up and supper and all that. Well I was taking clothes out of the washer and I leaned over my port. I wasn't being forceful, just leaned over the exact spot of the port. I felt an intense pain on my side -a burning pain. I honestly thought my port was right under the big incision. Well it's not. It's on my right side between the two incisions. I felt it then. I have not had any port pain until today.

I don't get my first fill until this Tuesday, so I honestly didn't know where it was. I'm ok now. I think I just pulled it a little - it doesn't hurt like that anymore. I know I am not supposed to be lifting and stuff like that and I've been pretty good about it. I just forgot.

I know that if it keeps bothering me or if I have any more pain, I will call the doctor. It has subsided and I am ok now. Has this ever happened to anyone. Im going to be 45 this month - so I'm not as young as some of you all either - lol.

Call the doctor and just talk about it. I have leaned on mine and it is uncomfortable.

I had a fill today and my port is hurting a little. Maybe it is common.

My rule is when in doubt call the doctor.

Feel better.

Yep! Yep! I'm 10 months out almost and the washer still gets my port. I'm short so sometimes I have to really lean into the washer to reach the bottom. I've found that its really more my "skin" that hurts more than the muscle. That sharp pain of a pinch.

Seems like you've thought thru what happened and have the appropriate amount of concern. Like you said if it changes you'll call your doctor.
