Has anyone been diagnosed with Abdominal Wall Pain

I was just diagnosed with anterior cutaneous nerve entrapment syndrome aka chronic abdominal wall pain on February 1st. I've had two injections so far and have two more scheduled. I hope they work because surgery is the last resort. I also don't want to be dependent on the Gabapectin they prescribed me. What a crazy diagnosis but every other test they ran was normal! It is so frustrating! And no one understands unless you have the same diagnosis. I am glad I have support but I had to close my business and now move in with my in-laws because we cannot afford to live where we are anymore. Plus all the depression/anxiety it brings with it! So I can empathize.

Surgery should not be your last resort since this will not go away unless you have the effected nerves cut. My surgeon, Dr Thomas Gillespie at St Josephs Medical Center in Phoenix performed Robotic Laparoscopic surgery cutting T8, T9 and T10. After 9 horrific months of debilitating pain I "walked" out of the hospital same afternoon totally CURED!!. He does take new patients. He is said to be one of the few in the world who recognizes ACNES and performs it Robotically which is the safest way. He is a great and compassionate surgeon.
