Sore Port

Okay, I know most of you know I was in a car accident last week. I don't know if this problem is related but it is driving me nuts. For about 2 days after the accident my port area really was very tender and sore. I don't think the seatbelt rubbed or pulled on it in the accident and thought maybe I had just slept on it wrong. Sometimes that happens. That pain has gone away but now I have a needle like pain in the same area anytime I bend over or lean. I thought it was initially coming from a scar further down because there was a little bump on it and a needle size sore on it but now I am pretty sure it really is coming more from the port region itself. My job takes LOTS of bending over so it has really bugged me. I don't want to pay for an appt with the fill/ aftercare doctor without getting a fill but don't know if this is something I should go to my primary with either. I will have an appt next week with my primary so maybe I'll bring it up then. I haven't mentioned this to the doctors I've seen before (for the accident related injuries) because I wasn't sure that it is accident related. What do you all think and what should I do. I don't see any redness in the area, no heat, nothing. Just sharp little needle type pains. Thanks, Teresa
