If Carnett's test is positive, and trigger-point injections are diagnostic but inadequate for pain relief, Mayo won't help with the surgical option, even though Dr. Sweetser's report described that. I don't understand why Mayo refuses to offer such help when that is clearly described in his article.
Editor's Note:
Carnett's sign is simple a diagnostic tool used at Mayo Clinic. Learn more from Mayo Clinic gastroenterologist, Dr. Amy Oxentenko. She talks about an article published in Mayo Clinic Proceedings, detailing the complexities of chronic abdominal wall pain (CAWP) – a condition that seems elusive to any workup. https://connect.mayoclinic.org/blog/gastroenterology-and-gi-surgery/newsfeed-post/chronic-abdominal-wall-pain/

You keep suggesting Dr. Oxentenko's video, BUT SHE OFFERS NO HELP FOR PATIENTS FOR WHOM TRIGGER POINT INJECTIONS ARE A FAIL.
Her "reassurance" to patients is maddening, because it does nothing for severe neuropathic pain. After 3 years, I had three traumatic neuromas identified and removed from T7, T8, and T9 nerve branches. You are posting unhelpful information and (in my case), causing more delays to patients who need the help Mayo is not able to provide.
