Has anyone been diagnosed with Abdominal Wall Pain

@erikas I have read up on all of the posts here and the only thing I can add is its really getting worse each day. If you push in from the side of each flank (middle sides of my stomach) its very tender but pushes the pain into the middle area. The pain then goes up and down the middle. Getting up this morning around 5am I hadn't urinated in say four hours, it didn't really burn but right after the pain below my navel to lower waistband amped up even more. Same happens after a BM and noticed today that even standing and blowing my nose hard sent pain through the middle of my abdomen. Yes I have pain that pushes up and out at my xiphoid but I have pain all the way down to the lower pelvic area. Maybe have two issues with it started above my navel then went below a year later.

I read up on MALS and some matches but more doesn't, same with Nutcracker renal vein issues. I just have terrible aching 24/7 that no pill helps at all for pain. So late yesterday I got a call from Mayo asking me to confirm my ID, asked if I was taking any narcotics and that my GI doctor sent a refer to the 800 fax number. Now I guess GI is going to look at my records and get back to me, very confusing how this is working. Yes there could be more specifics tests or exams that need to be done by someone who specializes in abdominal pain but I don't know who that is. Going to Mayo Pain Medicine sounds the route, my main hospital pain mgt team can't figure it out though, they don't discuss entrapped nerves or say ab wall syndromes. I have never had an injection anywhere down the middle except for lower pelvis. I also can't find any doctor that speaks in much detail to abdominal diastasis and the change it could be part of the problem. I am desperate and running out of ideas and doctors to see.

@rt061069 it sounds like things are moving closer to your getting to pain rehab. That's great. If you have specific questions about the process, please contact Mayo Clinic directly.

As @donfeld mentioned above, he's been to PRC and can tell you more about his experience.
