Michael,
Don't be shy about calling those docs. Other than one or two sharp pains before I left the hospital, my PEG never caused me any problems. I don't think that it should be painful. Heck, I used to work out and play golf wearing the thing. Best of luck on your treatment. My friend from L.A. was also treated at MSK and they dosed him pretty good with chemo and he is still having some numbness in his feet...ask them about that.

Take care in the big city,

Danny G.
