Could I have a neuroma or a nerve entrapment? 10 months Tummy tuck post-op painful to touch belly

coupondiva
During my 14 day po TT I suffered a trauma to my abdomen when my son accidentally jammed his elbow into my MR area. Since then and now 10 mth post-op I have been experiencing a painful to touch, hypersensitive and a uncomfortable tight swollen belly. MR was not compromised..One cat scan and 2 ultrasounds came back normal with no sign of hematoma or seroma. Seeing a pain specialist who now have me taking different meds such as neurontin and Lyrica but no relief as of yet.
