Pain only on right side of body

Posted by athenamom @athenamom, Jan 22 1:25am

Hello! This is uncomfortable for me to do, I’m not usually a forum user.

I have been dealing with chronic pain for around fifteen years, and the pain was originally focused on the right side of my neck. After a few years it spread to the right side of my face and my right wrist/fingers, and has now reached my right lower back, thigh, calf and occasionally the top of my right foot.

I have always wondered about autoimmune disorders (5 out of 7 of my maternal aunts/uncles have an autoimmune disorder), but I tested negative for ANA. I did have shingles on the right side of my face around 20 years ago, had multiple cysts, fibroids and endometriosis resulting in needing a hysterectomy, and very common unexplained rashes.

Thank you for your understanding and time, it is not an easy process to have so much pain with very little understanding or guidance.

Take care!

Ask away, happy to answer any questions.. through my journey I’ve found doing my own research and speaking with others more helpful than any of the drs.

I’ve been put through the rings, I’ve seen multiple neurosurgeons, neurologists and been doing hydro, physio, mirror box therapy and graded imaginary 2-3 times a week for the last 2 years, they even made me complete a 6week pain course which was a complete waste of time, I don’t get how they expect being mindful to relieve this awful pain, I held back but so wanted to tell them where to shove it!

I got discharged from hospital last week after being on ketamine for 8 days, only to have had my meds cut back, be back on opioids and to be told that there is nothing else my pain specialist can do, so now I have to start from scratch with a different pain specialist that is a retired neurosurgeon.
Fingers crossed this new Dr is able to help me
