Could There Be A Connection Between Lower Abdominal Pain And Neuropathy?
I have been experience pain in my lower left abdomen since mid-December. I have seen numerous doctors, had several tests and have not received any help except to be passed on to other doctors. I recently saw a medical professional for another reason and she asked if anyone ever mentioned neuropathy ( I am a breast cancer survivor and I had a mastectomy of my left breast in April, 1998). Could there be a connection?

Hi.
Thanks for your query and an elucidate history.
Since you had a breast surgery long ago, having neuropathy now is not possible due to this particular reason.
Yes neuro problems like prolapsed disc in th lower thoracic region can cause pain in lower abdomen, but has a specific character like cutting or burning pain.
Please go for MRI of the spine and CT scan of the abdomen to find the cause.
