can anyone relate to this? intense stitch like pain left of stomach, debilitating if i try to carry on

That's were the port is. It will be sore for some time but in the end it is worth!! Have u told ur Dr, about this?

It is my understanding that some doctors actually attach the port to the muscle in the rib area. When it begins to heal it can cause , presure, a pulling feeling and pain.

I would for sure ask the doctor about it but for me it was just the area around that port healing.
