Hi Lovely Ladies
No I did not get it checked the redness went however I am wondering if the pain when you move your arm near the port goes.

It feels like nerve pain. It sticks out of my chest like a huge golf ball as I am so petite and I feel it in there. It is making me miserable perhaps the surgeon didn't put it in properly or is this what its like. It has been a week today and it is more painful than when it was done. Any advice is so appreciated......
