    I’m looking for a way to spare other people the same problem I had – chronic abdominal pain for 7 years! Finally a surgeon was willing to look for the pain even though nothing showed on the CTs. He found 6 titanium surgical tacks clustered below my bottom left rib, and removed them as well as a few others that were visible. A flat screen xray showed that 18 tacks remain. My concern is for the doctors who get patients with chronic pain who have these tacks and they are not seen on a CT. How do we educate surgeons, internal medicine doctors, emergency room doctors, radiologists and others to look for these tacks?
