Has anyone been diagnosed with Abdominal Wall Pain

Hello, thank you for responding. I had a CT with dye to rule out MALS as it was suspected by my doctor based on my pain. Is there a chance that this diagnosed could have been missed? I am unsure of another test for MALS. Did you have a celiac plexus block? I've been told that my test for a variety of nerve-related pain in that area and it is something that my doctor suggested that I could try, although he said the results would be short lived.

There’s only a few doctors worldwide that can read the Ct Scan to see the mals. (My doctor was Dr. Richard Hsu at Vascular Experts in Stamford, Ct.) he’s done almost 400 surgeries with 90%success rate. Most vascular surgeons don’t see it. Also, a duplex ultrasound can be helpful. I had a Radio Frequency Ablation on the Splenic nerves before I had a mals diagnosis and it helped for 7-8 months. I also had the Celiac Plexus block which lasted 3 months.
