Hi Amy,
It sounds like your partner is suffering from Abdominal Cutaneous Nerve Entrapment Syndrome (ACNES). The two ways to confirm this is 1) the Carnett test and 2) a trigger point shot. If it is confirmed ACNES the only way to rid oneself of this horrible pain is through a procedure where the nerves are cut. Unfortunately not only are almost all doctors unaware of ACNES but very few in the country do this procedure/surgery. I was most fortunate to find a surgeon in Phoenix who performed Robotic Laparoscopic surgery cutting my T8, T9 and T10 abdominal nerves. It is outpatient and went home that afternoon CURED. This was 9/2/21. The surgeon's is Dr Thomas Gillespie at St Joseph's Medical Center in Phoenix. He does take new patients. I have referred several people that were on this website to him and I am happy to say they all finally have their lives back. You need to go online and familiarize with the Carnett test and trigger point shot first. There are great articles and youtubes to watch. I'd be happy to discuss further via a phone call if you are interested. Jeff in Gilbert AZ

I actually came across this a few months ago. I’m unsure of what specialist can test for this accurately.

Dear Jeff
Thanks for this post! I have had pain in upper right quadrant for 12 years since my pregnancy ! It was excruciating during pregnancy and all sorts of gi issues too! Recently I had a nerve block by pain management on right side of abdomen but not directly at point of pain! My pain is a spot right below rib cage on the right side toward middle and strong palpating near pain and I feel my heart palpating too. It is painful when pressing on that one area! Does this sound like what you had? It just always felt like I just wanted to remove that one area! I did have a positive carnet test by my liver dr at Brigham and women’s hospital in Boston recently ! In addition I also have itchiness and dermatologist thinks it is nerves too! I was thinking of scheduling appt at Mayo Clinic ! Is that where you had your surgery? Thanks for all your feedback as I have been dealing with this for so many years and now I really think it is a trapped nerve that needs surgery !
