Hi, I had a port fitted yesterday and wasn’t prepared for how sore my neck and chest would feel afterwards. There’s no redness and I don’t have a temperature but I’m wondering if it’s normal for my neck to feel so sore. Just wondered if anyone else had a port fitted and experienced pain afterwards?
Hi @Rachyrach,
I had my port inserted in Dec and I remember being really sore afterwards. Mine was fitted under general anaesthetic so it is surgery and no wonder we feel sore. I think mine fully settled down after 1-2 weeks and then you don’t really feel it. Getting a port was definitely the best decision I made as I could ignore it and it didn’t really cause any issues with day to day living.
Take it easy for the next week and it should start to settle down xx

Hi @Rachyrach, is your neck still sore? If there’s anything you’d like to ask our team of breast care nurses, you can find more info on how to do so in this link.
