Asked By:colleenc32 in Rockwall, TX

All of a sudden I'm having 7/10 pain all around the port and it's also radiating towards my umbilicus. It's constant and burning/sharp pain, no matter what position I'm in .i didn't injur myself today. It feels warm to touch and swollen but not red, the incision is almost healed and looks good. What kind of port problems could it be?
