port pain when walking

I am one week post op and I am healing well with the exception of some pain when I walk on the port side. It seems like a sharp pain on that side I get only when I am walking. Has anyone had this. should i be worried

Sandy, I had a rny on 05-05-08 and I am still having pain on my left side which is where the drain was and the biggest incision of mine. I have been worried that it is a problem, or just healing, etc. and I have been in touch with the nurse/surgeon...I am somewhat better today, and will just monitor it to be sure it is not infected, etc. I am just wanting to tell you that some folks take longer to heal than others, and you may have pains while walking, sitting, getting up, perhaps longer than some others. However, be sure to keep in touch with your surgeon or nurse and let them know. Sounds like a normal pain, but jus****ch it, and ask the doctors to be sure. Good luck to you, and let us know how you are doing. I will be three weeks out this Monday, and my pain has not totally gone away, however, is much better.

Sandy, I have that pain when standing and sitting back down. I think it is just a bigger incision...plus, don't they sew our ports down? I have never had an abdominal cut, but it seems normal since they went through muscle and nerves and for me, I hold weight mostly in my tummy so there is a lot of weight pushing on the spot....hang in there, ok?
