Has anyone been diagnosed with Abdominal Wall Pain
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?
Good question? i keep telling the doctors there is no way i can live with this level 0f pain the rest of my life i totally have been brushed off by soo many doctors I cant even count Now they brought in a shrink saying that it might help my pain management
He my name is Sherry, I’ve been hvin sever pain under and around rib cage,plus stomach hurts to bad to wear jeans it’s sore… I hv GERD.. it hurt so bad under left rib cage I cldnt move for about 10 minutes.. it’s very sore still hurts…I’ve had gallbladder removed..any suggestions??
Hi Sherry, Even if you have had your gallbladder removed your liver could still make gallbladder stones, that then get stuck in the liver
ducts. This recently happened to a friend of mine. He had really bad pain now and then for several years, then it got very bad, and he went to the ER, where they did CTs etc, and found the gallstones. They scheduled surgery and removed them. He is fine now. So maybe that is something to check out…
Thank you so much I didn’t know that..
Hi, have they done any biopsy of throat and down into esophagus?
I have GERD and have been on acid reflux medication for 12 yrs.. but about 6 months ago I started having acid coming up.It is even affecting my breathing.. test show spasms in larynx and esophagus.. but no meds for it.. I’ve been to a lot of doctors, ERS, specialist..had stupid remarks or diagnosis..
I went to a Gastroenterologist that l really like..He said we need to find out why I’m having spasms, what kind of acid it is.. if it’s stomach Or bile from liver..
TEST: 24 hr PH
Esophagus motility
EGD with biopsy
I don’t know if any of this helped you or not
But I hope so.. wish you all the best
It helps me to know I’m not alone and I’m not making it up..
Hi I have the same problem with acid coming back up.
What does your acid look like? Sometimes mine is orange and greasy looking and burns like crazy.
Other times when I end up throwing it up it’s green and darkish brown. That one don’t burn as much.
The orange kind is most likely bile. You should talk to a GI doc.
Thank you for answering
I have an appointment at Rochester Mayo on January 9th so am anxiously awaiting any kind of help they can give me.
We have a week blocked off for me to be there with my daughter taking 9 days off of work.
The last time I was there was for the pelvic floor therapy.
That was last January so now hoping they can do something for the acid I already take esomeprozole two times a day and now since the ranitidine has been recalled the gastro doc I see as my regular one put me on Pepcid once a day also.
And I take Maalox at night if I feel acid trying to come up while I’m sleeping.
Hi – I’ve been dealing with this for a year. Abdominal and upper thoracic neck clavicle area. . thoracic outlet syndrome. ( not diagnosed) i can’t lift , push, pull my arms above chest level with pain in clavicle strain. on stomach. This pain all started with with working out. I think it has to to be a nerve issue/ stomach lining. So painful Any movement pushing up through my stomach. I use to be a trainer I had to let my 73 year old client go. because I can’t even pick up things. She shouldn’t be able to do more than me. I haven't exercised since July. I’ve been to emergency twice. Fo 6 days in the hospital the came up with nothing. Now saying it’s in my head go to CBT therapy. I’ve lost about 15 pounds instantly in July. I’ve been the internist GI, endocrinologist and neurological surgeon she’s ran test I go back to see her next.
I’m desperate to get well. I’d appreciate any information you give me. I don’t know where to go from here.
How are you feeling? I’ve been living with most of your symptoms and have done all those test with no answers. I’m not sure where to go from here.
Is it pelvic pain, stomach or intestinal pain? I wake up every three hours in bed and have to get up and to bathroom or walk around to get relief. Mayo couldn't figure it out and it's been like this for over two years as wake up every three hours. They say no GI problem.
One doctor at the Mayo said I have restless back syndrome because I wake up every 3 hours. No such thing!
