Welcome to Connect, @patrice207. You'll notice that I moved your message from the Chronic Pain group to this existing discussion about MALS in the Digestive Health group. I did this so you can meet others who are talking about abdominal pain and MALS. I encourage you to read back through the past messages where you'll meet @kariulrich @jmmb @annief and others, and find useful resources and tips that they've shared. Perhaps they can answer your question about how a nerve block may be used to help diagnose MALS.

Feel free to ask questions to help you prepare for your next appointment with your doctor. Have you seen a GI specialist?

Thanks. I saw a GI doc last Thursday and I'm having a Doppler Ultrasound of my SMA and hopefully exclude MALS tomorrow. He doesn't suspect it on clinical grounds though but I want to be sure since we've come all this way to Mayo and I have been diagnosed with Autonomic Instability and Mast Cell Activation Syndrome
