Neuropathic Pain in upper midriff area

That pain high in your abdomen coulkd possibly be nerve entrapment---if<br>it's at the outer edge of your "six-pack" muscle (rectus abdominus).<br>If a physician can confirm it by finding a tender spot there, it can be<br>treated very successfully with a local anaesthetic injection. I believe<br>this condition was first described at Mayo. Good luck!<br>

On second thought, Carol94 stated that her pain was "high central" in location, and I suggested nerve entrapment syndrome. The latter occurs at the outer edge of the rectus muscles, not on the midline area. I did not mean to mislead you---no harm done, I hope! For those interested, you can look up CNES, which stands for cutaneous nerve entrapment syndrome. The importance of this entity is that it a=is a benign, perfectly harmless condition, easity managed, whereas most other causes of abdominal pain could have more sinister underlying causes.
