I knew a fellow who had lap surgery for his gall bladder. He has pain in one of the incisions every day since... and it has been years.

I wonder if Lidoderm patches would work? Or a compounded transdermal cream with clonidine, gabapentin, ketamine, an NSAID, lidocaine etc would work? There are many formulas some doctors use, but these ingredients seem the most effective this way.

Chronic pain after surgery can be due to something left behind, festering in there. But you say they looked and saw nothing?
