I live in Hong Kong and have almost constant abdominal pain. I can't lift my son, 12 1bs, without feeling pulling around my bellybutton. I also can't stand for more than 20 minutes without my abdominal muscles beginning to shake. Sitting for long periods is also uncomfortable. However, I have no problem swimming for 40 minutes and feel better after I have done it. I had a skiing accident 6-1/2 years ago where I dropped about 20 feet going at a fast speed. I have been seen by surgeons, physical therapists, chriropractors, Chinese doctors, massage therapists, but still no answer. I have had ultrasounds and a CT scan with no results. Any suggestions? Could I have damaged the anterior of a vertebrae or have some nerve system problem? What would be the best way test for these problems. Any help is appreciated. Gerry in Hong Kong
