I have read somewhere in these post regarding nerve entrapment, there is a Dr Anthony Gillespie at St Joes in Phoenix, AZ. that is very successful with nerve entrapments surgeries. .

Hi Olivedog, I strongly recommend a test to indicate if you have ACNES (abdominal cutaneous nerve entrapment syndrome. Take the Carnett test. Lie flat on you back on a hard surface. Next with legs together lift just your legs up a foot or so. Most of the time the pain is below the lower right rib cage. Next try just lifting your head and upper body. If you have extreme pain from this there is real possibility your have ACNES. Next you need to find a pain management clinic that has a doctor who knows what ACNES is. Almost all doctors are not familiar with it. He should trigger point cortisone into that area. You can find this procedure on Youtube. If you have immediate relief this is the clincher. Problem is this will not last long. My lasted about a week or so. I had 4 more shots with less and less relief. I fortunately found an amazing surgeon at St Joe's in Phoenix who robotic laporoscopicly cut my T8, T9 and T10 nerves. I was pain free from the ACNES when I left the hospital that afternoon. Prior to surgery my pain level was horrific! Jeff

I have a physiatrist for pain management. This is his specialty. However, only having minor positive results. It appears that there maybe little that can be done for this pain.
