pulled muscle?

Hey everyone,

I am 11 days post op, I saw my surgeon on Friday and he said everything looked great and I could resume normal activity (not lifting more than 30 lbs).

So I was doing some gardening today and I feel like I pulled a muscle right at my port site. If I did pull a muscle, is it going to hurt my port?

I think I did the exact same thing as you... maybe a month after surgery, and had a 'pulled' muscle feeling in my side for almost a week. I was a little freaked, but my surgeon assured me it would be fine. It went away, and 14 months later, my port is fine :myscared:

You should reassure yourself though, and put a quick call into your surgeons office.
