Undiagnosed - Debilitating Abdominal Nerve Pain

Hi Lisa. He is in pain daily. From what he tells me the pain level is 3 on a daily basis. On the bad days though its a 9/10. He seems to have the bad days about 2 to 3 times a week. The last nerve injection he received was on Jan 2nd but this time it doesn't seem to have any affect at all. I read somewhere that after the 2 or 3 shot if there are no results then there should not be a 4th. I'm not even sure this is an abdominal nerve pain issue but all other test (now over 18 months old) show no abnormal results. It is a daily struggle with no help or end in sight. 🙁

I’ve been dealing with this also. I just had my second RFA, hopefully it helps. I know it’s dehabilitating but hang in there and keep seeing for answers.
I’m in the same scenario-for 15 years. I had a splanick Rfa which helped for over a year. Now I’m needing another one.

That is really rough, @sherri2022, that your husband's pain is 9/10 on bad days, and that that happens about 2-3 times per week.
I'd also love for you to meet @gailb @artscaping and @mamacita, who have some familiarity with pain and may have some thoughts as you progress through this nerve injection therapy in his lower back and try to get him some relief from the abdominal pain, nausea and headaches.
Is the exploratory surgery still being suggested as an option by your husband's doctor, or what does he or she propose to try next if the shots are not providing sufficient pain relief?
