I had a Bard Power Port put in on the right side of my chest. It has been quite cantankerous from the beginning. Mine is being used to pull pints of blood due to my Polycythemia. I've had it for two years and the past 2 months nurses at Outpatient Nursing have had been able to pull only two pints of blood and rest of the tine it flushes but no blood return. Past week I've had nothing but pain extending from my port to my shoulder down into my hand 😭. Got checked for clots in both arms and my neck and they found nothing. I'm at a loss and frustrated because the more I wait to have a pint of blood drawn the worse off I am. Any thoughts or opinions I would greatly appreciate it 😊.
