Port site hurting

I feel so frustrated :( I was banded on Dec 11, 2010 and where my port is has been hurting for over a week. I had my 3 fill 1st fill 5 cc second .5 3rd .5 will a total weight loss of 10lbs this last fill made a big diffrence and I think i probably need about one 1 more. Sometimes I can feel is popping in there and it just burns non stop. I have a very active job I'm a nurse aide and I do a lot of lifting :(
Has anyone felt this before?

thanks everyone and hope you are all doing well :)

In my own humble opinion I know the burning.   I popped a stitch on day 4 and WOW!!!!  Maybe a wrap around like a back brace can help or you need to press that area to lift.   I honor the Nurses Aide position and  know that you do a lot of bending and lifting!  Call the dr and be sure and get ideas!  Good luck to you! 

I would think it is probably a strain from lifting etc.. The "popping" sounds a bit odd! I woudl suggest a phone call to your doc's office if you are at all worried.

The things to watch out for are redness above the port area, swelling, tenderness to the touch and heat. If you get these, then you need to see your doc a.s.a.p. as they can be the signs of band erosion (the infection can travel down the outside of the tubing form the damaged tissue).

Depending on were your port is try wearing a binder.
