You will find that the PEG does ooze stuff out, putting a drainage gauze underneath it helps.
My first G Tube was a long pig tail that I would just tuck it inside my pants and that usually worked. My new one is a mic-key button which I love because there is no tube hanging from me, it's a small circle (about the size of a nickel) flush against my skin.
I'm a little concerned that it's been a week and you still have pain and cramping. It might be a little sore still but it might be something you want to phone your doc about and see what they say.
Good luck!
