Tim Tollestrup MD

Doctors Told Him It Was in His Head. Surgery Proved Otherwise.

Jackson was 15 when he developed severe stomach pain after
food poisoning on vacation. The pain centered around his
belly button and got worse for months.

His family tried everything. Endoscopies. Allergy testing.
Parasite testing and treatment. Ultrasounds. Colonoscopy.
Visceral massage. Spleen and gallbladder checks. Nothing helped.

Then doctors suggested maybe he was just anxious.
He had never been anxious before in his life.

His family's entire schedule revolved around what Jackson
could eat and what he could do on any given day.

Then they found Dr. Tim Tollestrup at Nevada Nerve Surgery
in Henderson, Nevada.

Dr. Tollestrup identified ACNES — Anterior Cutaneous Nerve
Entrapment Syndrome. Two nerves passing through the anterior
re**us sheath were trapped and causing all of his pain.
A diagnostic nerve block confirmed the diagnosis. Surgery followed.

The night of surgery Jackson already knew the pain was gone.

After surgery he woke up excited to eat every meal without
pain. He gained the weight he needed. He got back into
baseball and basketball. He sleeps through the night.

"After the surgery I started eating normally. I started
sleeping a lot better. I got back into both my sports.
So much better thanks to the surgery and Dr. Tollestrup."

Dr. Tollestrup is one of only four peripheral nerve surgeons
in the United States performing this level of pain-focused
nerve surgery. Patients travel from across the country and
around the world to his practice in Henderson, Nevada.

Dr. Tim Tollestrup, a pain-focused peripheral nerve surgeon, explains why delaying treatment for persistent pain months after orthopedic or spine surgery is a mistake. If pain or motor deficits like foot drop remain unresolved after 3 months, it's crucial to seek specialized evaluation.
