Brief Answer:
MRI abdomen will help to guide you therapeutically.
Detailed Answer:
Hello, Sir.
I understand your concern.
Frequent steroids and analgesics can cause a large degree of side effects for your age.
Frequent surgeries can cause such symptoms.
The best investigation at this point would be an MRI abdomen to accurately assess the state of abdominal muscles and fascia.
Further management is based on the test results.
Post your further queries if any.
