Swimming in the Ocean

bamafever · June 27, 2008

Just wanted to find out if anyone else has experienced what I have this week. We have been at the beach all week. When I swim in the ocean, my port hurts, like it is moving around. It just feels really weird.:thumbs_up: Wondered if this was because of the salt. Anyone else had this feeling?:confused2:

very interesting. I have never heard of this before but I will be on vacation soon so I will be sure to take notice.

Is the incision completely healed and closed?

Remember the new skin on the scar will be tender. Salt tends to be drying. If you're wearing a two piece and the scar is getting sun burned, that is new skin!! Are you talking about getting tossed about in the rough surf? That could make you a bit sore. The Water has more force than you think.

The pain could also be caused by the muscle the port is attached to pulling as you move around in the Water.< /p>
