Dear frustrated,
I know how awful it is as I also had a nerve stuck in my abdomen in a
suture sight. Although many doctors could pinpoint it and name it they
offered no sulution for me! None except pain control. Thats where
research comes in. Our doctors really don't know that much or are they
willing to take the time to learn about people like us who are a
problem. If there is money in the research then lots gets done as with
aids and cancer but these little known problems that result from surgery
are a bother. You will have to turn to God for wisdom in all your
decisions and also to this sight as well as books and then become your
own doctor. You decide if you want to be on pain meds and then insist
that someone put you on if you cannot live a normal life. But we have
this sight and there is so much information. Good luck. Joanne
