Pain on left side below port incision

Anyone else have this? I have a pain on my left side, below the port incision. It's pretty constant. Is it soreness from the port site? I'm two weeks p/o

Thanks

I'm 2 weeks post op and have the same thing. The Dr. said it was the scar tissue starting to form and it should feel better in a month or 2. Apparently it starts to soften up. Good luck!

It could just be your port itself! I guess I thought the port incision was exactly where my port was, but I came to find out it's actually down and over from the incision (at least mine is!)

Yep, the port pain continues for about 4 - 6 weeks after surgery (my surgeon said it's sutured into abdominal muscles) and it pulls occasionally. :smile2:

If you are talking about the stabbing pain when I breath deeply too quickly - or sneeze, cough, drive, etc. Yes!

I called my doc's office and my nurse said as long as I am not experiencing shortness of breath (which I am not) then it is normal and will work it's self out.

I didn't think about the scar tissue issue. I have a firm spot (not firm, but like there is something there) that I suspect is my port. Now I can't wait for my follow up next week to find out.
