Has anyone been diagnosed with Abdominal Wall Pain

4 years now,I've lived with it everyday. Had all the diagnostics you listed. The only thing that helped a little was the injections. 6 of them one morning. All in my lower abdomen. It was a cocktail. Beupivicain,Cannalog, and something else. (Please excuse the spelling). But those are just a bandaid.Im currently switching doctors. So fingers crossed. I can take some pain. Broke my back 3 times, both shoulders twice, etc. But the pain from this, everyday is unreal. If I didn't have kids, I wouldn't be here anymore. Good luck, and please keep us posted. I'll do likewise.

With all the reading and research I've done, it's clear to me that medical care in the U.S. is useless in treating chronic pain. (How do we even find each other here, since we're posting under "DIGESTIVE HEALTH"?!) I've had 12 physicians and 2 P.A.s near home brusoff presumably because all scans, tests, etc. were negative. MDs won't believe the pain, so we're labeled as drug seekers! Outside the U.S., there are a number of documented successful treatments (all of which we've been denied in the U.S.) Here all they do is hand me a prescription..24 in 2 years...none for neuropathy. I had to diagnose abdominal wall pain myself (later substantiated by University of Washington pain physicians BTW) but I'm still a patient to be ignored, with 5 more MDs who brushed me off. Why do we have to visualize suicide as the only possible way out?
