I'm two weeks post op tomorrow and doing great. one problem, i'm in the most pain when i lay on my back. Anyone else had this issue. i can sleep on my side with no port pain, but as soon as i go to my back it seems like my port sticks out more and the pain is horrible. it hurts more than i ever hurt after surgery. like i said i have no pain when i'm up and moving or sitting but as soon as i lay down it is unbareable. i know your going to say so sleep on your side, but its hard for me to be on my right side contiually all night long. anyone else have this issue.

I'd recommend talking with your doctor about this.

Hi:

I'm guessing you should have very little discomfort after two weeks post op. Please give your doctor a call and explain what's going on.

Hope your pain goes away soon.

hi hope you feel better, do you have a recliner you can slept in at night. because i had the same problem after surgery.

Definitely ask your doctor. I was having pain and snakey feelings inside and he said until the scar tissue forms around the port, I would have some pain and weird feelings.

Hi! I am one 9 days post op. I have the totally opisite thing going on. I am a stomach sleeper and I have had to sleep sitting. Up with lots of pillows on my back on the couch for the last 9 days..sucks real bad but, it helps me from not sleeping on my side or stomach. I have been on this website everyday since my surgery many have said it will get better in time. Just hang in there.
