Pat, my port area was quite sore for 7-10 days and then settled down, although throughout the months I had it I did get an odd sharp tingling pain now and then just for a moment.
The strange thing is years later I still get a little soreness there but not too often!

Nancy I also had that scalp soreness too which went as soon as all the hair did, in the meanwhile I found wearing a cozy sleep cap helped ease it, I got mine at www.headcovers.com
