Has anyone been diagnosed with Abdominal Wall Pain

If you were diagnosed with ACNES, why have the doctors not tried a neurectomy? What type of physician did you see for the diagnosis of ACNES....GI, neurologist, pain specialist?? Lisa

The GI doctor I had at the time was doing an endoscopy on me when she asked if she could inject my abdominal wall with lidocaine. The pain went away right away. The doctor had just read a case study about ACNES. Unfortunately I think this is a new medical condition to many doctors. The trigger point injections work for me now. If this changes, I will pursue a possible neurectomy.

I saw a pain specialist who suggested ACNES. Since then I have had a diagnostic ab lap where adhesions were found in the area where the gallbladder had been. Surgeon took down the adhesions which were very thick. I also received TAP. Blocks. It all helped tremendously with the RUQ ab pain I had been experiencing.
