Has anyone been diagnosed with Abdominal Wall Pain

@bebe6 please keep us posted and I will do the same. Sadly you are right that most doctors decide real quickly after coming in the room if it fits in their box of knowledge. What ticks me off is that they don't even think much about it and the pain you are in. Most dont even recommend someone or something. If a 51 (my age) neurologist, or plastic surgeon or primary doctor had our pain non stop for two years what would they do? Would they accept the lack of interest from a doctor appt. Who would they call or try, chronic pain all the time is not acceptable and sadly it seems that abdominal pain isnt a focus if its not cause by an organ or issue that shows up on a scan.

That’s so true! It’s hard to get doctors to think outside the box! After many doctors and a 3 day visit to Cleveland clinic, I diagnosed myself! I’ve had two injections with very little relief! My doctor wants me to see a pain psychologist. I do have other problems. I really believe I need either more injections or surgery, which he doesn’t seem interested in either one. What else can I do? It has really changed my life! The pain is all the time. I can’t breathe properly and I can barely scrub the bath tub or make the bed without getting winded and hurting in my lower groin area.
