pain on right side of body only

Hi Justin,
Thank you for responding to my post. I have had a lot of imaging done for this problem, x-rays, ultrasounds, MRI's, CT scans, gastric empting and even laparoscopy to rule out endometriosis and to remove fibroids in the hopes that it would be a cure for my condition. I have seen multiple specialists, including OBGYN, neurology, physical therapy, pain management and even general surgery. So far, nothing makes it better and I have no diagnosis.
The pain radiates from a spot on my lower right quadrant and I can easily pinpoint it. It gets worse with sitting and I can only sleep when laying on m right side. The pain radiates to my hip and lower back specially when sitting and laying on my left side.
My hope with this website is to find someone with a similar condition and from there try to have a diagnosis.
I saw a general surgeon who dismissed ACNES and spaghelian hernia, but those two things seem to make sense when looking at my symptoms. Gastroenterology dismissed it as a GI problem, but I do suffer from constipation and gas.
I know this is a lot,but someone out there must have a similar condition and might be able to help me with this.
Please let me know if you can think of something that can give me some direction on this.

Sorry you’re going through this.
Don’t know if I can be of any help but I had a c6/7 fusion 9mths ago, pain before surgery was limited to my neck and right arm, since surgery my entire right side is affected including my thoracic back.
I have a constant tight burning shooting sensation, and it is either super sensitive to touch or feels pins and needles numb, both my right hand and right foot change colour and temperature either feeling burning hot or frostbiten cold.
I have lost extension of my right arm and shoulder and have troubles straightening my right leg, my foot feels heavy as though it isn’t connecting to the ground.
I’ve seen 2 different neurosurgeons, a neurologist and 2 pain management specialists, so far the only diagnosis I have received is chronic regional pain syndrome.
Is this something your drs have looked into?
