Chronic nerve and abdominal pain for 3 years

Hi,
I am sorry to hear you are going through this.
Have you being given a diagnosis of what the issue is?
May I ask why did you have Botox injections, was it related to your health condition?
Do you do any gentle stretches to help relax your muscles, have you been advised to do any movement exercises?
Nerve block injections every three months? I live in England, UK, I was only allowed it once a year in my spine due to the side effects. I have lumbarsacral and cervical radiculopathy and fibromyalgia, from a car crash 13 years ago I am self employed part time and am 58, it is challenging and painful with all the symptoms I have to manage, but I do breathe work, Qi Gong, Yin yoga, walking and meditation.
It sounds serious, I would advice you get a second opinion, as you should have a diagnosis of what is causing you all the symptoms you are experiencing. I would be concerned if the Chiropractor and massage therapists would not even attempt to help you. If you muscles are so contracted you need to know why this has happened?
I hope you find some answers.

I haven’t been given any diagnosis. I have been through a bunch of tests MRI cat scan colonoscopy and clean results. My hope is in the fall I can switch from Kaiser and go to UCSF care system since they r the #2 neurology hospital in the country and get some answers. Kaiser is great for normal care but these mystery illnesses they r not so good. At this point they r o ly trying to manage the pain with nerve block injections in my thoracic spine and Botox to loosen the muscles in the same area every 3 months. Right now I am thinking of making an appointment at UCSF or Mayo Clinic just to review my records. They charge about $1000 to review and one appointment in person. So hopefully that will maybe get me some info. Gotta keep fighting but when I’m in an episode like right now it’s horrible. Sharp pain in my back and front left rib cage and the worst side cramp from ribs to hip joint. My digestion gets thrown way off The muscles r so cramped it’s hard to urinate or pass anything. My whole body feels toxic like I have the flu Weakness and crappy feeling with no fever. I sweat a lot while I sleep It’s like the nerve has no sensation. It’s is so mentally taxing but I gotta keep fighting. Thank u
