One subject that I have had great interest in lately is that of pain from the abdominal wall. According to the literature I have reviewed this is a very common -and very commonly missed- cause of abdominal pain. Would anyone be willing to comment on either
1. How you treat pain from the abdominal wall- I've seen dry needling, local anesthetic, and other options
2. Who should be able to detect pain from the abdominal wall, and contrast that with who actually does. I understand these patients often get caught up between family doctors, GI, surgeons, and pain management and many go through unnecessary tests/procedures looking for intraabdominal causes.
