I have suffered from lower abdominal pain for years. I have gone thru several colonoscopies and endoscopies, but no results were shown to cause my pain. I finally decided to discuss my chronic pain with my internist and when I told him of my stomach operation, gallbladder, appendix and finally a tummy tuck, he began to nod. Indeed the tummy tuck could be the cause of my pain all these years. The damaged nerves were being covered by a healing process, this in turn was causing my chronic pain to my lower pelvic area. Now I need to discover what I can do to relieve the pain.

VM,

Your condition sounds similar to that of another woman who wrote in.

You can find what she had to say here.. Pain In Stomach 1 Year After Tummy Tuck.

She was able to get some relief from a type of muscle freezing procedure and she is going back to her surgeon to see if it can be corrected surgically.

Hope the information is helpful.

Good luck,

Tanner
