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

Does this prior pain affect your rectal, and genital area? As I was told I have pudendal nueralgia with possible entrapment of the pudendal nerve. Could you please give me the name of the surgeon, so I can call them? Thank you Jeff, I think I might know who this surgeon is, but need to make sure.i really appreciate your time in answering as the pain is sooooo bad. The nerve injections I did have to the pudendal nerve made this worse, as it was confined to my rectum, and is now all over, this nerve is. I wish I never got those shots. I was told the kenelog takes 6 months to wear off. Right now I'm writing in complete pain, and couldn't remember if I took my recent pain pill. I have never been on them...started needing them after the shots. There are a lot of scammers out there too, I actually drove 2 hours to see one...I was lied to when I called, and he was not the doctor who did any surgery...
Him going in there now has made the pain worse...I'm telling you, my life feels ruined,
and no doctors even get it. I'm in a rather dark hole...not knowing what to do.
Have an appointment set up for a nerve conduction but I can not even imagine what the flares or horrid pain would be after that. So I'm waiting to talk to them to see if there is another way of seeing, there must be...this not only causes bad pain, but anxiety too. Thank you, a name and number would really help!!!
My best to you, and very glad u got help...
So many have these horrid issues, and do not know what to do. Again thank you!!!!
