When y'all say you "feel the port"....do you mean you actually feel it sitting INSIDE you, or do you feel it from the outside?

I can feel mine on the outside. It kinda protrudes a little. I can definitely feel it if I press down and can not rest anything on the site.

I don't feel anything on the inside, but if I feel around the area where it is, I can feel it from the outside. The only time I feel anything inside is when I'm laying on my back and my cat decides to step right on it. Still a bit uncomfortable when she does that. Otherwise, nothing, unless I'm feeling for it.

I can feel mine quite easily from the outside. My sister says she can see right where it is. I think it is very close to my skin because I feel it when I'm bending over to put on shoes or socks and lying on my side. It's not a bad pain but it is a little uncomfortable.

Ok, whew. I had visions of feeling the thing hanging around in my body with all that tubing and stuff. I don't mind feeling it from the outside. I have knotty scar tissue from an accident that has a bumpy feel, so I am used to that.

I had NO idea where mine was until I had my first fill and I had to lay on a pillow and do a small crunch so he could insert the needle (very painless). Now since I know where it is I can feel it when just standing there if I poke a little.....

Does anyones ribs hurt where the port is? My ribs hurt where the port is and when I bend over it pinches or something.
