Did my band slip?
I will go back a few months to tell my story. Around 4 month ago out of no where I would get muscle jumps, not charlie horses'. I would be sitting down at the end of the day and then Wham! my leg would jump, my arms would jump, my hands, my back and torso. This happens every day. About 2 months ago my entire body jumped and this one was like a charlie horse. my entire torso was like a real bad "charlie horse". After a month ago I had another belly charlie horse. I had acid real bad for a week. My belly still hurts, like the pain that lingers after a charlie horse. So, for the last few weeks i have had this ache. This morning I rolled over to my right side, where my port is and I yelled. It was like someone stabbed my port. I never thought this all would be related. My tummy still hurts but the acid is gone. About an hour ago I did a test on myself. I guzzled a glass of water and threw it up. I am thinking about going to the ER. My husband is gonna take me, dragging me if he has to lol. So, now after my little noval here, do you think my band slipped?
As far as the port pain, my body totally incased mine in a pseudo capsule of scare tissue. This attached to my insides and any time I picked some thing up or moved it pull as hurt. It got worse over time until just them accessing the port, they had to tip it to do this, I was in so much pain I just curled up and tried not to cry after for a few days. The last time they just unfilled it all the way.
As far as the rest sound like you need major medical help.

(my first post in OH.) i know you have gotten back from the ER and now you are okay- thank God. Just in case anyone reads this and wonders if their band has slipped...I wanted to explain my "slipped" symptoms.
I became so tight that i couldn't even swallow my own saliva. that was it. it happened many times- but only once did i have a flouro done. i was slipped. unfilled me. tried a fill after a month- slipped again. i did this three different times until i finally said take it all out and leave me be. its three years later- i have no fluid and im still getting stuck. now that my port has flipped, im getting the band out.
