Title: sorness in the ribs/left front and back areas
Post by: sullidog on December 17, 2011, 09:10:21 PM
I notice when I cough or take in a deep breath I can feel it in a few spots, my left side ribs to around my chest, and my middle back, it's not pain just I can feel a slite sorness there. I did have a permacath put  in last Monday but the problem started after that and none of the sorness is in the permacath area at the surgical sites or the tunneled sites but a bit below it. Anyone else had this issue?

Have they suggested a  scan or a chest x=ray? Get on to them.

I'm wondering if the catheter maybe up against a wall causing this, it runs fine so don't know but I will talk to my v surgeon about it when I see him tomorrow even though he's not the one that put it in.
