Major ab muscle cramps at port site during exercise

I just left from an unfill so I know it isn't due to my port being flipped.

When I do a good ab exercise, my abdominal muscles around where my port is tighten up and cramp really bad. I can stretch it out but if I try to continue exercising it keeps coming back. I have to completely stop. It feels like a Charlie horse. Only happens on my port side.

I asked my doctor about it today but he didn't comment on it at all. Whatsoever. I'm really disappointed with him in that matter. 

Any ideas anyone?

Your may have been done far enough back when they were still anchoring them to a muscle with a stitch or 2. Could be the port moved some with the fill and so now it pulls that stitch. Otherwise I don't know what else would cause it.

The only other thing that I personally know to cause the pain you are describing is scar tissue around the port.  Mine would pull if I moved the wrong way or overexerted myself.  If you can keep a journal or something so you can note if it starts happening when you are not exercising.

I don't have any answers but just wanted to say I sympathize. I get random ab spasms from exercise sometimes - really started after my tummy tuck a few years ago. They are the worst! I really hope you can find some relief.
