Has anyone been diagnosed with Abdominal Wall Pain

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.

Welcome to Connect @undiagnosed2016, As you probably already know, we are not medically trained, we are just folks who have been there ourselves or have been a caregiver for a patient who reported similar symptoms.
When you say that you diagnosed yourself.....what did you mean? Did you administer and prescribe your own injections? Do you mind telling me what they were supposed to do for you?
Are your "other problems" things related to your abdominal pain? What can the pain psychologist do for you......verify your diagnosis or support your viewpoint and analysis.
The reason that I am asking is that I had what I called the abdominal firepit for about 6 months after being diagnosed with SFN, small fiber neuropathy. It reminded me of lighting one of those glass fireplaces....just roared across my abdomen every morning.
My SFN has moved on to some other notable nerve tragedy and I have not had any abdominal problems since then. I used medical cannabis tinctures. Did that help? I don't know.....the pain just stopped.
My very best wishes to you in your search for comfort and ease.
