Answers:
Subcutaneous catheters are called either medi-ports or port-a-caths. They are made up of a small "port" made of stainless steel, titanium, plastic, polysulfone or a combination attached to a catheter. It is put entirely under your skin, generally in the upper chest surgically. They may have to stay in for years. Almost everybody experiences some pain, but if it is placed well the pain subsides after you accommodate. The likeness to a vein shape is necessary because it must be inserted into a vein.

If you are still having soreness there, I'd tell your doctor.
