@bubbleshdr Thank you for the reply! I had a lower hernia repair back in 2001, no real issues until March 2018. My pain is deep and stabbing in and around pelvic area. That came on a year after the navel to xiphoid started in March 2018. The navel up is pain and aching, I do have a diastasis navel to xiphoid but two surgeons didnt really think that was a factor. At the xiphoid level and across the aching is worse. The navel up seems shallow level vs the pelvic which seems deeper. I could have messed up pelvic nerves and muscles as a result of the year of aching up higher. I am trying to get into a new pain mgt doctor while I wait for Mayo to get back. The pain clinic I used at the hospital isn't really investigating hard, I have had two injections in the back and some in the ilioinguinal nerves and genitofemoral. This last week is Unbearable, i'm not a wimp and its an 8 or better now all the time. I slept four hours last night when I awoke to urinate, right after my pain went up a full level, just the bladder working I guess against nerves and muscles. Too much pain and I couldn't fall back asleep. I took a medical thc hit to try and settle it a touch and it didn't dent it. I have used the thc for the last 9 months but now really need it all of the time and I don't really want to do that. Its a slight distraction, doesn't bring pain down to better than a 7 and not long. After sitting up reading phone to try and distract I took a BM two hours later, that boosted it again which sets off even more pain right up under my xiphoid. I have full pain from xiphoid to lower pelvis, I could point to 3-4 trigger areas and the rest of the area is just bad pain too, but wondering if referred.
I just got my primary to send in some gabapentin and ativan, I havent tried the Gabapentin for over a year and also need something to help with a bad mindset, I totally feel trapped. Also got a referral for a psychiatrist, I am at the end of my rope. The pain just keeps getting worse!
