Problem with my Port...Help

Hello All,
I have had two chemo infusions. When I arrived for my second, I was informed that my port had "flipped" The nurse tried for about ten minutes to turn it the correct way so I could be infused. She was eventually successful...thank goodness for the nurse.They are all so very helpful!! Since that day, I think it has flipped again. I also feel a little stretching or pulling in my neck. Is this normal? Have any others had this type pf problem. When the chemo nurse was trying to correct the problem, it was uncomfortable and she said sometimes it cannot be manually turned. I've got an appointment with the surgeon this week. Any assistance is appreciated.
Thanks,
Brenda
