Around the port pain

I've been having pain around my port area since my surgery- almost 3 months ago. It feels internal and its not directly above my port. Its sore all the time and I sleep on my sides, I just don't know why I still have this pain and my incision is very sensitive when brushed with fabric or my hand. Anyone else have this going on? :)

Yes! I do - my port area is very sensitive and after I eat its even more sensitive. I'm only six weeks out. I hope it stops hurting soon!!

I had the same thing. I first went to the doc to be sure I didn't have an infection or any other complications and then he prescribed an abdominal binder which worked great! ;)

I had the same thing and I couldn't stand completely upright without pain (I was slightly angled). My regular doctor was on vacation so I saw his partner who said it was fine, 3 weeks later when I saw my doctor he said it was infected. And the port had to come out because it was now damaged.

Point being - have you're doctor check it out. Its worth the visit.
