ACNES, Abdominal Cutaneous Nerve Entrapment Syndrome

Dr Thomas Gillespie - St Joseph's Medical Center Phoenix, AZ. He performed Robotic Laparoscopic surgery for ACNES on me 9/2/21 cutting the T8, T9 and T10 nerves on right side below rib cage. After 9 months of unbearable pain I left the hospital PAIN FREE - cured and now it's just a distant bad memory. Dr Gillespie is an amazing surgeon and does take new patients.

Thank you for this info.
I have been suffering for 17 years. As most people note few Drs aware of this condition and most are NOT interested to learn.
My ACNES is so severe I am bedridden/on liquid diet/ severe abdominal/ back pain.
Pray the above Dr will accept me. We need TO ALL GET. TOG. TO BRING AWARENESS...this condition can make living beyond agony. Thank you.

I contacted his medical assistant and she requested I forward PCP medical records and check to make sure my insurance will cover. Its been three years of a living nightmare three groin surgeries I didn't need and I had to relocate unable to properly care for myself. What started out as slight left testicle pain blossomed into an unbearable condition and it is not quite over yet, but there is hope.
