Starting on May 1, 2017, I began having abdominal pain that wraps around to my left back. The first time it happened, I went to the emergency room because I thought I might have an apendicitis. The hospital did a CT scan of my abdomen, everything looked okay. I went to the emergency room several times over the summer with excruciating abdominal and back pain. I had a hida scan done, a colonoscopy and an endoscopy and CT and ultrasound scans of my abdomen. Everything looked normal. In September of this year, a doctor at Mayo felt the area on my abdomen and did a Carnett’s test. He suggested it could be abdominal wall pain. I have had two steroid injections and I am still having pain in the same area. Has anyone out there had this type of diagnosis and still having pain?

Abdominal wall pain may be caused by poor blood flow to the affected area. Consult with your doctor about taking a baby aspirin daily. Also, abdominal stretches may help too. Hope this helps @smiles444 and @pagray24 and @lucie2 and @rufus444 and @edda and @dschaefer and @rsmith0822 and @aesmayo01
Hello,i'm so sorry to hear all the pain you feel here,even i'm in the same trouble for 7 years,up to now i'm still trying to find a diagnosis for my pain and in the 2 next day i'm gonna meet a vascular surgeon to make a diagnosis about a Celiac Ligament Compression or Dunbar Syndrome,it is a very rare disease and very hard to figure out and there are specific examinamination process to make the diagnosis such as specific CT the regular CT couldn't see it,talk about it to your doctor and don't lose hope…even me i don't know if i have this or not,i will see it with the doctor soon,hope the best for all of you…
I have been having abdominal pain for months but no one seems to know why they took out my appendix and my gallbladder but on still have the pain. It doesn't go away but gets worse if I eat or drink. Any one experience that before their diagnosis? At this point I am just grasping at straws trying to figure out what's happening to me
Hello. I have been diagnosed with this as well. My question is, what type of Dr. Does the ultrasound guided steroid injection or nerve block. I have been referred to an ob/ gyn who had never heard of such a thing and laughed in my face. I just want this pain to go away but don't know where to go. My Dr doesn't seem to know either.
I had the million dollar work up before I was diagnosed with ACNES. I have been getting injections since 2015. I also had 25+ sessions with PT for abdominal deep tissue massage to break up scarring. I am now getting injections every 3 months after 2 years of injections every 2 months. I’m in a good place. I have some right lower quadrant abdominal pain if I’m constipated and my bowel is too full. I keep hoping I’m in “remission” but I realize I will have this medical problem the rest of my life.
I've been having right upper abdominal pain for 5 years. Nothing can be found. Have had CT scans, EGD, colonoscopy, labs are normal. Had my gallbladder out in 2014. Every test is normal. Still dealing with pain. Started seeing the pain clinic doctor who said I could have Abdominal Wall pain. Have had a couple trigger point injections but didn't help much. Can I ask what type of pain you are having? Stabbing? Burning? Sharp? Would like to know if it's the same I've been having. Thanks. Am glad the treatment is helping you.
Yes, I’ve had every tests they can think of and they can’t find anything wrong. So now I had a RFA and nerve block on my Splanick nerve. It helped and gave me relief for almost a year. Now, im back and had both left and right sides done. Waiting for nerves to die off. Also, checking into vascular problems, NMALS? Desperate!

I have had abdominal pain, on my left side wrapping around to my back, on and off for about six months. I am a lymphoma survivor, with a stem cell transplant history. So, it’s easy to put off… Did too much, ate too much, stressing too much, just don’t feel well. But it begin to become more painful and I started dropping weight, 20 pounds in a month. I eventually got a upper GI to rule out a transplant related issue. I had some gastritis, but nothing really remarkable. They put me on a PPI and that has helped, but I still have on and off pain. I’m curious what test you have had beyond the CT scans and what they showed.
