Pain only on right side of body

Hello,
I also had an ACDF for C5-6 and 6-7 and since then, I am being pinched in my neck, like something is stuck. Over the last 4 years, since surgery, I've been losing strength in my right arm and it aches so bad. In the last year, my chest feels like it's glued together and now my leg is starting to give way. Imaging all shows that it's "fine" but my neck clunks and sounds funny and no one can figure out what is actually wrong. The worst part is doctors don't seem to care. They give up because they can't find it on imaging. I don't know what else to do anymore. Any other suggestions or ideas you might have would be great.
Thanks

I haven’t got any advice unfortunately I’m at a crossroads myself.
I’ve since had several nerve blocks in both lumbar and cervical, only thing they done was make pain flair for a week or so after each
8months ago I had a week long trial of a dual spinal cord stimulator, both cervical and lumbar, was the worse week of my life, I could feel the buzzing on the no feel setting and even after it was removed for a few weeks

I recently had a leg vascular ultrasound to check for circulation issues, all came back clear, my entire right side still suffers with burning aching pressure and colour and temperature changes

All my treating drs agree on right sided ipsilateral CRPS Diagnosis.

I’ve had the workers compensation Dr stating that lower limb symptoms could be due to an underlying undiagnosed condition such as osteoarthritis, but all my X-rays are clear of this

At present my pain specialist is just trying out new medications to help control the pain, I found norspan pain patches to be the biggest relief but unfortunately had an allergic reaction and broke out in hives, we’ve also tried methadone for pain which only lasted 3 days as I could not stop vomiting, so at present I am back on opioids and not knowing what next steps are

Sorry your not having much luck, wish I could help more
