PLEASE READ THIS! It's very frustrating to read comments about abdominal pain below right (can be left or back too) rib cage. I too suffered for about a year with horrible abdominal pain. I had EVERY test, MRI, CAT, blood work, etc and NOTHING showed up. I finally was convinced it was my gall bladder. I was VERY lucky to be recommended to an excellent gall bladder surgeon. In 5, yes, only 5 minutes he ruled out my gall bladder. He put me flat on his table and told me to raise my legs to perform the Carnett test. The pain was awful but he said "you have ACNES" (abdominal cutaneous nerve entrapment syndrome. He sent me to a pain institute instructing them where to inject linocaine (trigger point shots). The first shot 100% knocked the pain out but only lasted a few days. The relief from the shot did CONFIRM it was ACNES. 98% of doctors never heard of it. After an exhaustive search I found an amazing hernia surgeon in Phoenix who also never heard of it but quickly researched it (there are plenty of links - google). On 9/2/21 Dr Gillespie at St Joseph's Medical Center performed robotic laparoscopic surgery cutting my T8, T9 and T10 abdominal nerves. The actual surgery took 29 minutes. I left the hospital that afternoon completely cured. He does accept new patients for ACNES. My posting have brought several ACNES patients to him who were also cured. Feel free to contact me if you need more information.
