Hello, I am posting for my father 57M. For over 16 years he has been dealing with chronic pain in his right mid-upper abdomen. Pain is severe, can be a 10/10 certain days. Causes insomnia and can be made worse from eating. He has had a gastric bypass with a supplemental surgery a few years later. He has had his appendix and gallbladder removed. Despite years of trips to different doctors all they did was prescribe painkillers and send him away. We were so excited when we found ACNES but even after 2 trigger point injections NOTHING. The injections did not even give temporary relief, they made no difference. Now, we are worried it may not even be ACNES. Perhaps it is MALS? If anyone can PLEASE let us know a possible diagnosis or referral to a doctor or surgeon in the NJ/NY area, it would be a godsend! Please respond if anything rings a bell!!!!!
