chronic pain from head to toe just on left side of body

The gnesium stearate in medicine aggrivates these symptoms as your body cannot process synthetics as well ask for magnesium stearate free meds

Remember these symptoms are alot like Parkinson disease but it isn't mystic gravis is glycophates poisoning

Hello, i am froum Brazil. And i was reading this post and it seem so related to my problem. I am suffering with this left body pains for 11 years. It started somewhere in my left neck or arm, maybe because of gym or sitting too much at computer. 

As everybody i went to too many doctors, took too many MRI(Cervical spine and lumbar spine) and it all was normal estructures.

For physical therapy i did a lot of things like swimmimg, pilates, massagens, osteopaths, Mckenzie method. I found that what works for me is some light funcional exercises with rubber bands, some very good stretching. Along with some self massages.

I also tried some "melt method" and other methos of self massage and self treatment.  But the reality is, my left side is still very sensible to pain and weak.   This affected my wole life, and i am always self concious of it.  My mom have Fibromyalgia, maybe i have some form of it in me. My left side is painful and nothing seems to work.

If someone find a worthwhile treatment, post it please.

 

wow, I have had a very bad pain on my left hip, my doctor Orthopedist, ordered an XRay and told me nothing is wrong, my regular doctor did say there was a misalingment between my left and right hip. today i have a very bad pain on  my head, left lower side,I hope no more pains develop. Im sorry guys to hear about your situation. Interesting that someone mentioned about the teeth misalignment which I do have, and one doctor did tell me before there was something wrong with my jaw  and that I did have the risk to have it locked up, thanks God that has not happened yet. God bless you all and hope you do find something that relieves the pain somehow, right now Im trying to relax with red wine, so cheers!

I think for me it's a bit different like a mixture of things, constipation, need for a nightguard/retainer to help my jawline, and not drinking enough water. I recently got my appendix removed and the pain medication they gave me helped with my left side of the body pain. Although I need to get into the habit of doing things more routinely it's helping to a degree. Also, stress was a factor I believe. I try not to think about the pain so it can stay away more often. Been having this pain since I was about 16 or 18 currently am 23 and I just started to do something about it..... Hope you guys are lucky!

I got a bad concussion + whiplash 12.5 months ago.  Since my concussion the left side of my body constantly aches from neck to toe, especially my left elbow, wrist, shoulder, knee, hip, etc - I guess all the left joints and many of the bones, like my leg, hip and arm bones.  I've noticed most of the people posting are also complaining about their left sides...

Sometimes my right temple and the right side of my head feel like they suddenly have high pain / pressure and at the same time the right side of my face goes numb.  When all that happens the left side of my body gets extra weak and painful.  This is all very frustrating as the doctors don't seem to have a clue what's going on or how to help me.

I was hoping I'd be getting better but as time goes on and certain parts of my concussion / mTBI improve, the pain components like my aching hips and legs, bones, lower back, neck, weird headaches, joints, temple pain/pressure, numb face all seem to be getting consistently worse.  I saw some mention of fibromyalgia pain correlating to decreased blood flow to portions of the brain that regulate pain... Is this a possible result from a concussion / mTBI that would end up causing left sided pain such as what's written all over this thread...?

I've read through all of this and mine is similar but different and I cannot find any answers.  I frequently (~4-5 days per week) have terrible, throbbing, numbing pain on my ENTIRE right or left.  Literally everything from my eyelids, teeth, ears, neck, back, arms, hips, toes, etc.  It seems that there is always an epicenter.  For example if I stubbed my left toe = pain as long as that toe is hurting on the left.  If I rallied the cat and got a scratch on my right arm = pain as long as that is bothering me on the right.  Those considerations coupled with me being incredibly clutzy.  It renders me in pain, much difficulty sleeping, massively distracted and unable to concentrate.  It's been going on since I was ~18 and I am now 41.  I've been through an MRI of my head as well as tons of physical therapies and no change.  I've been prescribed depression meds and some low grade muscle relaxers to no avail.  The tougher meds check me out so I don't care as much but that is not a solution.  Any thoughts you have would be much appreciated.

Hi Lauraspot

I know it was 5 years ago when you posted about your chronic pain, but did you find any help in that time?

I ask because my partner suffers chronic pain down his right hand side, from the top of his head, across his face, neck, shoulder, hip, groin, legs etc. 

In my opinion he’s received really poor care from doctors who don’t seem to have the time or inclination to keep trying to find the cause - and he’s suffered for nine years. 

One ‘specialist’ even told him to take more hot showers to fix it! So he’s lost his faith in the medical route and won’t take medical pain relief because he doesn’t want to get hooked on them and when he tried amiltryptaline it gave him nightmares. 

As a result of my nagging, he has seen a chiropractor, a physio, and had intensive massage but no cure. The phsio even said that his shoulder was mechanically fine so stopped seeing him. 

To see someone you love in pain everyday is heartbreaking and I wish he would fight for a scan (MRI, ultra sound) or a test for nerve damage. But doctors don’t seem to want to offer them. And from the few responses I’ve read, it seems that scans don’t always show the problem. 

I actually think getting a full set of bloods could help. I had my bloods taken for my thyroid and it showed I have a high level of an antibody that is linked to rheumatoid arthritis (although I don’t have any symptoms). He may have something similar as I’ve read about arthritis of the neck. But he point blank refuses to go back to the doctor and massages/manipulates his body at home (he finds it hard to work). 

I’m literally at the point of tearing my hair out and would really benefit  from some advice. I will go through all the 170 responses now (I know I should have done that first really but felt compelled to write down my story in case you ever check back on this page). 

Thanks in advance to Lauraspot  or anyone that can help. 

Hello all. I hate to add another “me too” but I am 26 and have been dealing with chronic pain on my left side for 4 years. I’ve been to countless doctors, 5 mris, spinal tap, the works. It’s mostly in my left shoulder/neck/back area. Also my left arm and leg. I even feel it on the side of my face sometimes. It’s extreme and lots of days I can’t get out of beg. I use so much icy hot. I’m on gabapentin and tizanidine. Sometimes I can’t move my toes. I have really bad spells. I could go on and on but I am DESPERATE for a solution. 

Good luck
