Hi Anita
I had a Port put in and like you it was really painful to the point that I had to take the week off work which was incredibly frustrating. The pain should settle, I have met lots of ladies that have had no problems at all however my advice to you is to keep an eye on the pain. If it is still painful after a week see your doctor. I didn't question anything with mine at the time and got swept along the process of chemo etc. In hindsight I should have spoken up earlier as the pain and device never felt quite right. I had complications and then demanded that it be removed. Chemo is tough enough with out other complications and pain so trust your gut instinct.
