@rritam and others, thought I posted a reply and dont see it. I did have last week my pain mgt in my market that I have used 6 times over the last 20 months finally get back to me on a desperate message to keep looking and talk to the pain doctor group/in their team meetings. This was suppose to be done a long while ago, I guess urgent message sent on MY Chart they took more seriously. The doctor I work with does give me the time but I know even though they are a large hospital chain in ST Louis and a teaching hospital with thousands of employees/medical professionals they arent up on abdominal wall pain. I might not fit the exact example of ACNEs but my problem is abdominal nerve pain. The most recent CT still showed my organs look OK and no hernias though not sure anyone knows if the one repaired 20 years ago has scar tissue issue. We did a Zoom call for 30 minutes and discussed radio frequency ablation. The only help that has worked was back in September during my second injections at this hospital pain clinic when they injected steroids' in each far side or eight inches away on each side of my navel/ right below my ribs. These injections were into my ilioinguinal and hypo gastric nerves. The doctor said we would first do a day of test injections to nail down the best sites, hoping we can find them. The ablation would be done on a different appt and would be done from my back side, grabbing more of the start of the nerves closer to my spinal cord. I know this is a careful and skilled hospital clinc but they do mostly all ablations on different nerves and parts of the body etc (for backs, shoulders, knees, cancer patients and others in more chronic pain). Not sure when this can happen as the St Louis market is maxing out hospitals with Covid. I do have the Mayo appt on 12/7, not sure how Mayo can give you the full medical resources you need to figure out complex problems while having over 800 employees out or quarantined with Covid. I see them pushing this appt out or I will have to as I don't want to go 400 miles for a half experience. My daily pain when not sleeping 6-6.5 hours per night is a 7.5-8.5-Terrible. Thoughts from all are appreciated!
