Hello all,

So I don't know if I pulled a muscle or what (maybe I should just stop doing chores...<img title="Laughing" src="include/wysiwyg/tinymce/jscripts/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/img/smiley-laughing.gif" alt="Laughing" border="0" />) or if this is related to my port. My port is on the right upper chest...the pain is is behind my armpit (same side), at the crease where shoulder meets arm. It is only when I move or lift things. Which makes me think it is muscle. BUT I am also getting a pulsing in my left ear. Are these things related?

How would I know if I had a blood clot in my port. There is no swelling or pain at the port or in the area where the catheter leads to. The ear thing is wierd, the pain I can deal with...but I want to make sure this isn't serious. I am a little worried because I did have a clot in a PICC about a year ago, but that was on the opposite side (in my left arm). Please let me know what you think.

I would see a doctor about it, when in doubt check it out is what I like to say. Yeah, it could be a pulled muscle, but if you are feeling pulsations in your head when they weren't there before, then I might be concerned.. It could be nothing, but it also might be something. I guess what I am saying is it would be a good idea to get it checked out. It will put your mind at ease, but if it happens to be a clot or something else, it will be dealt with swiftly before anything serious happens.

Hey Caitlin,
I think you should let your dr. know asap.. It may be nothing to worry about, then again why take chances ??? I have had 3 dvt's from ports & one clot from a picc line.
In my case I am on blood thinner shots because for some apparent reason my body does not like foreign objects lol Let us know what happens..
