Mine was sore at the start too, just fromt he surgery and the swelling,but that goes away. DEFINALEY ask for the EMLA and/or LMX4 I have both, and which one I use depends on when I wake up (If I sleep in I use the LMX4 becasue it only ytakes 30 min to work and if I wake up early/ on time I use the EMLA <LOL>). My chemo is as 9am on Monday mornings (every 3rd Monday) becasue my chemo tends to take all day for some reason - my 1st one took 7 1/2 hrs and my 2nd 7 hrs.
The most i have felt is a little pressure when they access the port. Nothing much and definately NO PAIN., even the first time 3 days after I had it put in (put in on Friday, accessed on Monday).
