Hi -- I had laparoscopic surgery for MALS last November, and the pain is now back. I don't seem to have a path forward here in North Carolina. My GP ordered a CT scan and the results suggested that the flow through the celiac artery has improved, but I have worse nerve pain than before. No next steps here. Any suggestions or thoughts?

For Neurogenic MALS you need to have a ct scan with pictures taken on inhale and exhale, have a diaphragm that’s low and a CP block which you can eat with no pain. Many doctors treat mals as a blood flow problem only.
