    I've had a Bard Power Port placed last Thursday, right after I went for my first Chemo treatment of Taxol and Herceptin.First day didn't feel so bad .Friday morning I woke up to a lot of pain in shoulder and part of my neck and upper arm, all on my right side where the port was placed.Today it's Saturday and pain hasn't let up. My neck feels pretty stiff as well as my right shoulder and my hand . Where the port was placed it's getting bruised. I have a high pain tolerance but, this is getting annoying. Has anyone experienced this issues? I thought they told me this was going to be a breeze .
