77 year old male with abdominal cutaneous nerve entrapment

Posted by dennyb2317 @dennyb2317, May 31, 2023

I was diagnosed with ACNES about 4 years ago. I have had 2 injections so far, and now need another. The shots worked well . They relieved the severe pain just about instantly. This condition probably was caused by a small abdomen hernia surgery I had a couple years before onset of the problem. I spent 2 years with gastro and many emergency room visits all telling me it was stomach ailments. I was finally sent to pain management and she correctly diagnosed my pain. my question is, has anyone had successful surgery?

My trigger points were done by Dr Eric Boyd at a Mesa Pain Center which is no longer there. No sure where he went to. He did identify the nerves (T8, T9 & T10) which were sent to Dr Gillespie.

Yes, I have had successful surgery for my ACNES. My surgeon cut my T8, T9 and T10 abdominal nerves via robotic laparoscopic surgery as an outpatient
Went home that afternoon cured. If you need all the information please private message me and I would be happy to fill you in.

How do you have migraine in your abdomen?! I learn so many new things on this site.
Here are some links about ACNES.
