Pain management wouldn't help,but my onoglist gave me good pain meds
I have been to pt for 3 months and it hasn't help me,i start with pain management on Tuesday

Hugs.
LisaATX, Hi, It sounds like it is muscular. You are probably having muscle spasms across your abdomen. talk with your doctor about it. I have heard of another member with that problem, it is not a common side effect and should be reported to your doctor. Hav3 a good night! Love, Marcia 🌼🌸🌻
