Major ab muscle cramps at port site during exercise
on 3/23/15 7:51 am - Flowery Branch, GA
I just left from an unfill so I know it isn't due to my port being flipped.
When I do a good ab exercise, my abdominal muscles around where my port is tighten up and cramp really bad. I can stretch it out but if I try to continue exercising it keeps coming back. I have to completely stop. It feels like a Charlie horse. Only happens on my port side.
I asked my doctor about it today but he didn't comment on it at all. Whatsoever. I'm really disappointed with him in that matter.
Any ideas anyone?
The only other thing that I personally know to cause the pain you are describing is scar tissue around the port. Mine would pull if I moved the wrong way or overexerted myself. If you can keep a journal or something so you can note if it starts happening when you are not exercising.
