This is funny as I too am right handed but most of my pain, OA, osteo, and A fx are on the left side of back,neck,shoulder foot. I find (since OA pain did increase with age) that I use my left more now than when I was a nurse on the floor back in 2004. Had scuaruca on left from age 16 to 2004.
I Fx my back 2022 no pain after surgery/bone implant in L2-L4
healed until starting Evenity in 2024.
Pain worse than yrs of sciactia. Go fiqure. I always said I was different than most...lol

It is not at all surprising that the side of your body getting the most use is in the best condition, while the left side getting less wear is in poorer shape. All evidence suggests that physical movement is the best medicine we have available. Not over-use, but steady activity. When in pain, get up and move. That’s what I’ve learned through lots of experience with bad knees from running, bone loss from chemotherapy, slowly developing age-related arthritis, etc. I’m 87 now and the proof is in the pudding for me. Keep moving as long as you can.
