For years, 11-year-old Forest suffered from chronic abdominal pain that baffled doctors and specialists. He underwent numerous tests—endoscopies, MRIs, even an appendectomy—but nothing resolved his pain.
What no one realized was that Forest had Anterior Cutaneous Nerve Entrapment Syndrome (ACNES), a condition caused by an entrapped nerve in the abdominal wall. It took the expertise of Dr. Tim Tollestrup, a Las Vegas-based pain-focused peripheral nerve surgeon, to correctly diagnose and treat the issue.
Dr. Tollestrup performed a simple outpatient procedure to release the entrapped nerve. Forest woke up pain-free and smiling for the first time in years.
This story is a testament to the power of accurate diagnosis and the life-changing potential of peripheral nerve surgery—especially for children misdiagnosed with gastrointestinal or psychological issues.
If your child has unexplained, chronic abdominal pain, ask if it could be ACNES.
