@colleenyoung How do you expect a patient like me suffering for years, to help? Don't you think if I had any good ideas I would have shared them a long time ago? How nice of Mayo to educate its own physicians and neglect the larger issue of the 24 physicians in Washington who brushed me off (not including the 5 who refused to see me at all)! ALL DISCIPLINES need the information, including pain specialists, psychotherapists, psychiatry, hospitals and ERs, Walk-in Clinics, Physical Therapy, Urgent Cares in addition to all the textbook fail specialties listed in my post.. I've communicated to Mayo and MedScape (to name two) with no response from either, even MAYO physicians including your Dr. Sweetser? I'm to help educate patients who been betrayed by so many physicians for so long? Why should they believe me--and I don't blame them!--after YOUR clinics apparently continue to fail them?
Why have I continued to post? After hundreds of dollars' worth of downloaded physician literature, research, findings, treatments, I HAVE ALREADY TRIED. With printouts from your Feb 2019 Proceedings, trigger point injections,TAP blocks that physicians ignored. You know how I finally received care?
I convinced a physician to perform resection of branches of T7, T8, and T9 after I threatened to kill myself. I believe no patient should have to do that. That is why I continue to post...and not because Mayo sent me some BS 'bronze award'!

I know your pain and the lack of confidence in some medical practioners. I have been a RN for 32 years, 21 of which was in a large metropolitan hospital. I am now at my pre high school weight. him to my medical record that if he had bothered to review he would have much earlier in this 9 months of pain, nausea and intolerance to food. He patted my on my little head and assured me that it would be negative, that all of my symptoms were due to depression , the "brain gut" connection. much to his suprise I had an impacted stone in the neck of my gallbladder and a gallblader full of stones. He did not have the ability to be humble and appologize for my months of misery. as I pointed out that he had unecessarily caused my inability to function and him being SO SURE he knew best.
Hi! Can you share what worked for you? Which doctor helped you?
My daughter has been going through this pain since last 3 years and has 3 nurectomies. The pain keeps coming back after the surgery after 5-6 months. What helped you? What does resection mean? Thanks much.

@rritam, I appreciate your sharing more of your situation. I think you are doing a lot to help raise awareness about ACNES. Did the resection surgery work for you?
