Median Arcuate Ligament Syndrome (MALS)

I had MALS open surgery a year ago. It was based on neurogenic not velocities. The mals pain is gone but I’m having horrible diaphragmatic and lower rib squeezing. No one has any answers-again! My doctor redid a ct scan and upper GI series and the Celia plexus looks ok. I’m at a loss of what to do.

I have this and I thought it was from mals, are you saying the diaphragmatic and rib squeezing is new since surgery? Have you ruled out other compressions?

Keep searching for answers. Sometimes allopathic doctors can be a little dismissive when they don't know what's wrong.
One of the problems I had after my first surgery was scar tissue causing tightness and soreness around my ribs and radiating around to my mid back. I have been to physical therapy twice, and the last guy I saw was incredibly helpful -- I felt great for many months after those sessions. I also take several anti-inflammatory supplements (turmeric, ginger and magnesium glycinate) that help keep me functional.
