Has anyone been diagnosed with Abdominal Wall Pain
Chronic Pain | Last Active: Mar 14 12:16am | Replies (282)Comment receiving replies
I've had thoracic spine MRI also and even though I do have degenerative discs, I have been told that there is no possible connection with my pain on left side of abdomen. I have sharp stabbing pain. I have oxycodone pills from years ago due to knee, shoulder surgeries but try not to take them because I don't want to get hooked on them. In the meantime, after being an extremely active person all my life, I find myself in bed many days and am not able to do anything. Very depressing for me. I don't know if I will go for a third shot under ultrasound, I want to see if anyone has gone for surgery to take care of problem.

@captainsteve Are you seeing someone in pain management? If the injections are not working for you then you need to ask the doctors to look at other things that could cause your pain. You may have to ask about any "incidental findings" that show up on your imaging reports. Most doctors ignore them but if they can't figure out what is causing your pain then they need to consider other things. Don't settle for being a pain patient and sit like that for years. You may need to see numerous doctors until someone is willing to pay attention to your ailments and dig in to what's actually causing it. This is what happened to me over the course of 15 years. Hope all goes well for you, take care!
