I keep getting really intense searing pain around my stomach below level of inury. I used to get it in hospital now and then but last night it actually kept me awake and it's getting a lot more frequent. Feels like a freezing cold stabbing. xx

Could it be bladder pressure? How are you managing this, emptying ok etc?
Bowel management ok ?
Just some ideas ... can't think of anything else :mfrlol:
Hope you get it sorted :)

I get it every day, it's just getting more frequent, it didn't bother me when it happened a few times a day :S I thought maybe it's nerve pain? But if it is, why? xx Thanks for replying :mfrlol:

I have a chronic pain below my level of injury. It's sharp in nature and has a short duration, however, occurs frequently throughout each day. A cyst was found in my spinal cord at my level of T-11, and apparently is the root of my nerve pain. Surgery is an option, however, there is no guarantee the pain will go away. I take Lyrica to aid in dealing with the chronic stabbing that I feel in the same spot in my groin. The Lyrica seems to help some days but on some days, the pain is relentless. Seems like we may be experiencing the same episodes of neuropathic pain. I wish you luck in finding comfort.

Hey there cutie you are not alone I get them abdominal pain and ive been having it since my accident and the doctor dont do nothing about it.I been taking lyrica 600mg a day and it work a little but the pain still there and it effect the way you live the daily routine of your life.I always seek diffrent medical advice till I find somthing that could take this pain away.Sometimes it could be constipation the pain tell your doc to get an x ray on your abdominal and to see if you are clean to see if that is what is giving you the pain if its not poop then its neuropathic pain.I wish you good luck traying to find relief for your pain remember always be on top of a doctor so he wont give up on finding you a relief for your pain.Im still on a mission for a relief for my pain I know one day I will get the good relief.
