Pain after 3rd fill

I had my 3rd fill on Thursday. By the time I got home I was in alot of port specific pain. The one thing I did do that was not recommended was have a Protein bar when I should of been on mushies. When I eat, it hurts. When I move around, it hurts. I am not feeling sick to my stomach or like I am going to vomit. Its all very specific in the area where it hurts and continues on, each day. I am taking tylenol but when it wears off it hurts.

One other thing is that my port is sticking way out, bulging. And when I pushed on it gently on Friday it moved. Swallowing doesnt bother me at all, its after I swallow and the food is in my stomach that it hurts. I kept waking up last night because I sleep on my stomach and the pain was enough to wake me up. The injection site does not feel warm to the touch. Right now I touched around where the port is underneath my skin and it hurts, but it doesnt hurt right away, its kind of 2 second delayed. What is going on? I have no idea and googling has not had many results. Thanks, Rose

I'd just give your doctor a call to have him/her check it out. You didn't say how far you are out of your surgery though. I'm assuming awhile since you've just received your 3rd fill. The pain isn't in your pouch area above the band? Just around the port? Maybe you've pulled the tissue the port is attached to and irratated it? My port also sticks out, especially when I'm laying down and go to sit up. It doesn't hurt though. I'm in my 5th month now. I'd just call the doc to be sure. It may be just irratated. Let's hope for the best! Good luck to you Rose. Dianne
