Chronic Abdominal Wall pain & Abdominal Cutaneous Nerve Entrapment Syndrome (ACNES) 

I just had a lidocaine injection after my gastroentonologist (sp?) diagnosed me. They thought it might be my gallbladder and so that was removed. The pain was still there and going strong after 7 months. Finally I was sent to the gastro doctor who caught it. I'm thrilled to say that I'm without pain!! The injection barely hurt and the pain relief was immediate. I eat whole, raw vegan and do yoga, swim and walk regular so there were no lifestyle changes to be made thankfully.

I have had right side pain for about 7 years. Pain radiates/travels a bit, some days are worse than others. I think giving birth triggered it. I’ve had so many blood tests, scans and x-rays. All show nothing wrong. This morning the pain has been radiating down my thigh a bit. It made me think this has got be nerve related. I did some research and discovered ACNES (I’ve never heard of it). But my symptoms seem to fit exactly. I’m super excited that I may have finally solved this medical mystery of mine. I’ll be making an appointment with my Primary Dr., hoping to be pain free soon. I’m a 44 year old Female. Normal weight, average height. I had my gall bladder removed 4 years ago, due to a stone found. I thought my side pain was gall bladder related, it was not. I’m grateful I discovered it. Got to be your own health advocate and Detective.

I suffered from this for 25 years, radio frequency ablation knocked it out in a few painless minutes. I highly recommend ablation if you suffer from this.

Thanks for all the great info and comments! My husband suffers terribly from this!

Okay hear me out. I've been to the doctor with a problem that is very similar to this description. My doctor said it's probably ACNES. 1,5 years, but the last 2 months were the most painful. In the morning it's at its peak. The pain increases when trying to bend over, the more I bent over, the sharper the pain in the left side of my belly got. But NOW it's almost gone! It's gone fore 95% and it will be gone for 100% very soon! This is what I did. (I don't know if it's working for everybody, but hear my story) 1. Don't let it ruïn your will to excercise/do sports, still do it. Even if the pain is worse the day after. I even did oblique exercise, while the pain is somewhere in the obliques area. 2. Stretch your whole body daily and never forget to stretch the area of pain too. 3. Eat a lot of different vegetables in large amounts, 3-5 times a week (I ate a lot of bell sprouts, cauliflower, broccoli, courgette, carrot, green beans) Not 1 type of vegetable a day, no I ate 4 different vegs in large amounts in 1 day. 4. As a former vegetarian I started eating chicken again, in moderation. Not too much, but just in case I was missing any nutrient. 5. Pray to God, be open for his works of wonders through your vessel and don't lose faith. 6. STOP SMOKING > for your overall body health, but also as a message for yourself and to God that you take care of your vessel instead of destroying it. Praying for healing, but still smoking is contradictionary. 7. Fasting. I did a 46hr waterfast and a 55hr waterfast recently. I was aiming for something called "autophagy", go and youtube the words: fasting autophagy 8. Take Vitamin D I don't know if this was my cure and if this is going to be your cure. BUT 1 week after my fasting and after a year of this lifestyle, I can say that my body is healing.. the problem that seemed like ACNES is almost totally gone in a natural way! I HOPE this can help someone out, please let me and other people know if it did. Take care everybody, may all our aches disappear!

Anybody else experience a burning sensation next to belly button? I had gallbladder removal and it went away but when I was recovering the pain came back. Must of out did myself that day and felt this tingling sensation hot. I also notice it happens when my sciatica nerve is hot

I've been having abdominal pain for about 5 months now. Threw almost every GI test at it; all came out negative. I've a theory that, during the pandemic, I spent almost every single day slouched in front of the computer for hours on end and my lack of activity (combined with poor posture) may have triggered these symptoms.

What lifestyle changes this video was referring too?

I've had pain in my lower right back and lower right stomach thinking it was kidney stones or something worst I had a CT scan showing nothing so now this could be the ploblem on Amitriptyline 10mg the pain is not to bad now but feeling unwell at times and anxiety set in going to bed a lot and finding it hard to go out to shops and other things to do not being able to go back to work really bad time.

What type of doctor does these injections?

Hello thanks for your useful video. My dad is soffering since 2 years this pain with all exams negative. Carnett test was positive, which kind of medical could help us to apply what the video suggests to solve this paint? Thanks so much for your help, best regards Enzo

Hallo, My husband did a laparoscopy in 2017. Afterwards he felt excruciating pain on the right side of the navel which stopped in the lying position, Irritable colon syndromes including gas and constipation, a nerve that beats hard on the right side of the navel, loss of appetite. All the examinations are negative (rmi ct scan, endoscopie,..), and they diagnosed ACNES.He was at the pain clinic for injection and he put one electric belt and no results, after years of suffering we discover that this syndrome has existed for decades in North African countries and India. They call it falling navel syndrome or falling belly. Finaly he goes to a physiotherapist for chinese cuping, te return the navel nerves to its Original place. I hope it's going te help patients who have the same syndrome. Because it's not humain te let people suffer like this.

I went to hospital they are doing x ray ultrasound and blood test but everything is normal they dont know how to treat please help me i can not do any work pleas help me

for anyone having this problem, try duloxetin 30mg daily. It's not a final solution but you can deal with this in a better way. Also ask to your doctor to check your ab reflexes

Same problem i have doctor iam staying in banglore which doctor i have to concern

I got chronic abdominal wall pain after abdominal surgery. What might have caused this?

Hi, I believe I have this given my persistent pain for 6 months and nothing found on all the scans etc... I find myself continuously re-aggravating it after doing anything which even slightly stretches my abdomen and have thus decided to go for the injection. Should I follow up the injections with PT/massage or just try and let it heal up? Should I wear an abdominal binder or something? Also will I have have to get repeated injections and do they inhibit the natural healing process? Thanks, any information would be much appreciated!!!

My husband has had this for years after a major surgery to remove a large cyst from his kidneys. Where is the US can he go for the injections to treat the pain associated with this?

Hey sir I'm suffering from both side of my oblique pain I mean whenever i strech my body while deep breathing and yawning bending over sitting, getting up I feel sharp pain in my cores and I feel like something just stretched out inside my cores and then attained its previous position just like rubber band! What could it be I'm afraid? And waht could be diagnoses to find out the problem

Can the pain just last a couple seconds at a time? Trying to figure out what i have. Random burning sharp pain near surface of ab wall. Lasts a second or two..so weird.

Pretty sure I've had this for a year and a half. Stomach pain that never stops and I've had all sorts of test to rule out anything seriouse

Mera vi pet ka dono side ka nerve khis raha hain doctor vi pata nehi laga pa raha hain hua keya hain mujhe breathing prbolm ho raha hain pain back se head tak ja raha hain 😭

Hello, I have a question. I have had so many tests at the hospital for my unexplainable abdominal pain. But all tests came out clear. They thought I had gallstones wich was not the case. I have a very annoying pinching pain where my upper abs are. I can easily trigger the pain with just a light touch of my finger. If I tighten my abs it's even more easy to trigger the "painful point". Is it possible to have acnes on both sides and more than just one place? Would really appreciate if someone could educate me a little bit further about this. I've been going in and out the docter's practise and hospitals for almost a year now and feel hopeless. It feels like There are multiple bruises but no bruise! Somebody help me. Please.

I've been having abdominal pain 8 months Non-Stop I had a lot of tests done where is your location

Not sure if I have this or not but I've had full pain on my right side for over a year now. Took every scan possible through my GI specialist and only found swollen lymph node in abdominal wall. Think my next step is to see if its nerve related. Did anyone else who experienced this have alot of gas buildup?

I have this in the left lower quadrant. I had one injection with marginal success. The second one did nothing at all. Its excruciating when I sit especially. I don't even know what brought it on. I have only had one surgery, but it started before that. Apparently I have a small umbilical hernia. Not sure if it could be causing referred pain to the LLQ. I don't want medication. It has me so down

Hi can anyone, help me? ? I have been suffering from chronic abdominal pain for almost a month. I have been on antibiotics but the pain does not completely go away. It hurts mostly on the left lower abdomen, then moves on the left upper abdomen and sometimes back. Can anyone tell me whether there is a possibility that it can be ACNES? I have also gone through ultrasound tests, but everything came clear there. The only detection that came from the tests was that I have UTI. But its been quite a few weeks and the pain although is mild, it is still there. If anyone can shed any light on this, that will be helpful.

look for syndromes van navel displacement, maybe de chines cyping relieves your pain.

Can a symptom of this be a sensation of squeezing and tightness? I suffered a spinal cord injury and am a T4 paraplegic. I have sensations of extreme squeezing in the abdominal area where I can't feel. Thanks for any input.
