Thanks. Sometimes you can explain things but not everyone can picture what I'm talking about.
Below is a picture of my portacath which is located under my right breast. ( Not a very convenient place). This port has been with me for 10 years. Its predecessor was 3 months shy of 10 years but had endured many infections.
This is what the site looks like after 12 hour chelation therapy. Doesn't look happy does it?

I feel painful feelings staring at your pictures and thinking how chelation hurts. I know its so hard having 12 hours chelation therapy. And its not that easy. Oh your really strong. Keep it up. God bless. Hope we could hear more about you. Cheesy

Chelation doesn't hurt. Its where the needle goes in that hurts. hahaha
When I put the needle in subcut, it goes pretty well unless I have inserted near a muscle or when the site gets swollen. The port site is pretty good but it has it moments too.
Apart from the minor hiccups, chelation doesn't hurt so don't worry.
