I am still in pain today~ port area

zeama · September 9, 2008

I pulled something this weekend near my port area and it still hurts like heck! The Dr looked at it yesterday and said I probably pulled that muscle, but man, when is this pain going to go away. I can't bend over or any kind of activity that requires a lot of movement!

I was banded on yesterday and I was in pain also in my port area because I could not keep my pain medicine down. I found out that my doctor should have given me liquid pain meds and nasuea medicine. I called the doctors office and they called my in the liquid meds that I needed. Once I did get the pain meds down last night after crushing them up I felt a lot better in my port area.

Have you had an trouble with gas yet? I have not so far but I heard it's coming :biggrin:. I thought that it would be here already and I'm hoping that I've actually missed out on that part.

Well, I am sorry that you are having pain in your port and I hope that it gets better.

Today is post op day 4 for me and I am dealing with gas, some under my collar bone! When does it go away!?

I am not sure exactly but I heard that it's the first week of Post-op. I actually am just feeling some of the gas pains and my surgery was yesterday. I've just been trying to walk as much as possible so I can get some releif.

A little over a week after surgery, I lifted a 35 lb cat litter off the store shelf and a few days later, I felt the worst pain. It was like surgery day all over but worse. It was hard to get in and out of my car and bed. It took a good week to 10 for me to feel completely normal again. The port is sewn into those abdominal muscles that run horizontal, so when you lift, it pulls them. Good luck to you!
