    I could just be healing or you could have a stitch either poking you or one that popped. I am 8 months out and mine at times is tender to the touch. If it is hot to the touch, or if it presist call you doctor.

    I had bad port pain 10days out. My surgeon suggested liquid tylenol and a warm compress. The heat pad worked great, only needed to do that for 2 days.
