Do I have an infection?

Hi all, I was banded 2/27. I have been having some shooting pain around my port site and right above it. I went to the doctor today and he sent me for bloodwork to rule out infection. I have no fever and the pain comes and goes. Is it possible to have an infection? What will they do for it?
Thanks

Bloodwork would show an infection if you had one.

The port incision is usually the one that hurts the most and for the longest time. About 3 weeks post-op (similar timeframe as you are), I would have stabbing pains at my port, especially if I twisted my body... e.g. getting into a car. It went off and on for about 2 - 4 weeks, then stopped. I'm over 2 years out now, and I'll still get tweaks if I move just right (or wrong!).

If your labs were clear, don't worry, just consider it part of the healing process. Your muscles were messed with, that's gonna cause some discomfort.
