Is this Normal or should I be Worried?

I am having pain around and to the right of my port incision and there appears to be scar tissue building up around the incision.
I am not talking about pain when you touch it.. Its an ache all the time.. Should i be concerned or has anyone else experienced this? I lifted on a box in my shed that was heavier than I expected could i have done something?
Should I bother my Dr. with this or just wait till I see him?

How long have you had the pain? How long ago was the surgery? If the wound is not completely healed and you lifted a heavy box that would definately do it. It's best not to lift anything heavy for about four weeks after surgery.

Any physical activity after surgery can cause scar tissue, which can be VERY painful later down the road...... be careful and call your doctor (listen to him/her too).

I too had a problem with port pain about 4 weeks out. I lifted something and it really hurt for a couple days. My surgeon reminded me that I was still healing inside and to take it easy. It worked, now I have no pain at all. Hope you are doing better!
