Anterior cutaneous nerve entrapment syndrome (ACNES) is a nerve entrapment condition that causes chronic pain of the abdominal wall. It occurs when nerve endings of the lower thoracic intercostal nerves (7–12) are 'entrapped' in abdominal muscles, causing a severe localized nerve (neuropathic) pain that is usually experienced at the front of the abdomen.

I was plagued by this condition for past 15 years without getting proper diagnosis. Altrough now I'm finally diagnosed, doctors doesn't have much treatment options to offer.
It is getting worse and worse every day, I can't even bend over to put on my socks without halting my digestion and causing myself terrible nausea and abdominal pain for the rest of the day.
My abdomen was always extremely hypersensitive and even the slightest touch caused very unpleasant cramping. Could this be a factor? I found that muscle relaxing substances like magnesium provides some relief. Anxiety and stress makes it worse.
Are there any Peat-ish treatments that might stop the worsening or even reverse this condition?
