Hello. I have been experiencing pain for 1.5 years. Can you share what type of pain you felt?

Aching, pressing, burning, shooting? At what moments? I am diagnosed with ACNES, but they say that the pain I feel does not qualify. Every detail, little detail is important

I believe I have ACNES but at Kaiser in my area there is only one doctor who does the trigger point injection and he decided I don't have it because the injection didn't work. I doubt that I could get them to do it again. Then my PCP decided it's fibromyalgia. To learn more, I went back to the beginning of this forum and read all the posts. I'd like to THANK YOU, jgroudan, for your many posts telling about your experience with Dr. Gillespie, and suggest that anyone new on this forum do the same - go back and read from the beginning. I do have fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, chronic lymphocytic leukemia, and long covid, but I believe this awful burning pain on my left side that appeared a year ago is ACNES. I'm currently trying Tramadol for pain but will be changing to gabapentin soon to see if it makes any difference. After that, if no help, I plan to pursue ACNES again and will try to get a diagnosis and then will drive to Phoenix to see Dr. Gillespie if I have to. With every disease/syndrome I have, at the age of 70 I don't need to put up with something that can actually be cured! (Carnett test and pinch test are positive, by the way.)
