I had my port put in end of March. Went well and has been working . Two days ago I woke up and it hurt . I touched it and where the hold is burned when touched and then whole thing hurt . It was early to call Dr soni put the cream on it to try to stop the pain. It did so then I was like I can't call the Dr it doesn't hurt and more
Next day it hurt but I have treatment so I have to put cream on because if it nothing the pain of them putting the iv in would hurt to much . I did tell the nurse… read more
Colleen, It May be that you pulled it by accident, maybe tore a stitch. If it turns red or feels hot to the touch, or if you start running a fever call your doctor right away. If it continues to hurt I would tell your doctor. Love, YMarcia 🌸
I had to have mine taken out after my 3rd 100 hours of chemo and they put in a Hickman on the left side and I had that one for a year. I am glad you are able to keep yours as the Hickman needs daily care.

Alleycallie4 no I haven't heard about a spray. The cream works when I put it on. I was just concerned about the pain when I didn't use it. I didn't want to mask a problem. But now that you say it can move I'm sure that's what is happening. Thank you.
StanWhite, Good for you! Skiing is great exercise plus the wonderful fresh air. I do miss skiing. You really can’t even call it skiing here in RI. But when we were younger, my husband and I skied all the great places in Europe.

I had no problem with my port. I had a lot of discomfort the first 2 years of treatment. The last year (year 3) I have only been on 5mg revlimid 14 days on and 14 days off. I have felt great but my energy level is somewhat compromised but being 74 and still very active contributes to that too. I am the ski patrol Director for my local ski area which requires me to ski 70 plus days a season. Granted I only skied 4 to 5 runs a day but I was out and about. Skiing has keep me alive.
