Hi there. I am 3 1/2 weeks post op and always had a little pain around the port area but last night i started getting sharp pain if I move a certain way. I m wondering if this is from bending over and tying my shoes. when I make sure I stand up straight the pain goes away. Did anyone else have this problem? I thought I was doing great as far as pain was considered until this started. I have an appt. for my first fill on Tuesday 6/2 so I hope this don t prevent me from the fill.

I had port pain (felt like being stabbed with a hot knife) for about 5 wks. You have to rememebr that your port is either clamped or sutured to your abdominal muscle. everytime you stretch that muscle you are moving that port and the chit hurts!!!

It gets better though, I'm 8 wks post op and no real pains anywhere to speak of....for me twisitng or pulling up from a slouching position were triggers for the pain.

My PA told me "burning pain" = healing, but if it got worse or persisted then check back in, so that's my suggestion to you, if it's more then a short lived sharp, burning pain check with your doctor.

Big Momma-thanks. Cuz I am 5 1/2 weeks post op and have noticed in the last few days that type of pain when I rise up after laying down on my left side. You have given me SUCH a sense of relief!
