Has anyone been diagnosed with Abdominal Wall Pain
Chronic Pain | Last Active: Mar 14 12:16am | Replies (282)Comment receiving replies
We live close to Madison. I had my work up done there. Every 8 weeks I get trigger point injections into the lap sites that are painful to deep palpation. It’s usually the middle upper abdomen and right lower abdomen that is injected. My GI PA uses triamcinolone with lidocaine. I don’t think there is an easy fix to my chronic abdominal pain but I do think I’m lucky to have access to providers who I like and trust.

@bubbleshdr , did you have pain non stop before they figured out the injections. How many total injection areas do they hit, from reading once the needle is in they can drop 3-4 times, do you get 4-8 spots hit? My pain mgt doctor has focused only on the illoinguinal and illohypogstic nerve areas. Also had an mri lumbar spine and thoracic epi injection. I haven't had anything in my upper rectus abdominis or around umbilical region. I have a lot pain and pressure from navel up that pushes pain all they way to the xiphoid and rib cage area and down to lower pelvis. You push in and around xiphoid or from outside stomach wall pushing toward middle and pain shoots down to pelvis area. I now have level 8 pain 24/7, its unbearable. Any thoughts you have would be appreciated, I just can't find pain mgt doctor who has some focus on ab pain and trigger points. This is trial and error for relief we are looking for, thats hard to find in a doctor.
