Has anyone been diagnosed with Abdominal Wall Pain

Clearly, it is not something that the neurosurgeon wants to do if they won't even take appointments. Or, if they are overcome with people that aren't true surgical candidates, they usually pawn you off on some other physician who isn't an actual surgeon but is trained to figure out which patients actually could benefit from surgery. You really need to go elsewhere if you repeated hit dead ends. I find that it is sometimes more helpful to start out with some different problem and work your way up the chain before stating that you have some rare disorder as physicians will think that you are full of it.

Hi jobby99, my surgery was delayed because doctors were completely ignorant of A.C.N.E.S. My surgeon recently removed THREE TRAUMATIC NEUROMAS from my abdominal wall MISSED BY 23 PHYSICIANS FOR THREE YEARS.. I post here only to share with people in pain who have been dismissed as drug-seeking, psychosomatic complainers by the piss-poor American medical system. Your well-meaning advice does not apply to people with confirmed A.C.N.E.S. whose doctors ignore them because they've never heard of the condition. You're telling me and others that we "really need to go elsewhere" after 23 physicians failed us? Really?
