pain on right side of body only
Chronic Pain | Last Active: Sep 3, 2023 | Replies (8)Comment receiving replies
Hello,
Thank you for responding to my post. I am really sorry about your pain.
I have seen 2 neurologists who both stated that my symptoms don't align with anything neurological.
My husband and I think it could be because it's a very odd think that only affects the right side of my body and is aggrevated with sitting or laying on the left side. I don't have tingling or burning sensations and I guess if you don't present those symptoms it can't be neurological
I think the diagnosis of "chronic regional pain syndrome" is something that even I could give someone, and it doesn't really explain much.
What triggered the beggining of your pain?
I am also trying to become a patient at the mayo clinic, but I think that is going to take some time.
Don't give up on yourself, you will find an answer.

My pain started from an injury at work, i work in disabilities I had a bigger client being hoisted and overstretched my arm to level out the ceiling sling, felt a popping sensation in the back of my shoulder, next day pain in shoulder ran down right arm into first and middle finger. I was treated for shoulder bursitis for the 4mths, had 2 cortisone injections in shoulder and still pain, all shoulder and bracial plexus mri were normal, this is what led to cervical spine mri, only my shoulder and arm had pain until I had a c7 nerve root epidural injection, that really made pain worse and this is when the neck pain started and when I first lost range of motion.
I find my pain is also positional, aggravated by siting in an upright position or standing.
I can no longer lay on my back or right side as the burning pain and numbness seem to get worse.
I am also hesitant or the CRPS diagnosis as I still have a herniated c5/6 that impinges slightly on the spinal cord at this level but both neurosurgeons are insisting there is still enough room for the nerve root and this would not cause the pain. Neurologist did nerve conduction test and EMG and all results for that came back normal.
