Peanutbutterplease profile image

I know this sounds stupid but I feel like my whole right side of my body hurts .

Years ago I damaged my right knee I tore a ligament it took a long time to heal so walking funny posture awful etc .

Upper right part of my back can ache and ache for days goes then comes back especially if I carry anything

Right ear/tooth and back of head pain

Right shoulder pain constantly it doesn't go

Is it possible for one side to constantly hurt?

This is not confirmed but with my back pain I get problems with neck and shoulder and sometimes walking, I'm sure the doc says something like all the nerves or muscles are connected somewhere, that's why I feel it elsewhere but don't quote me on that

mine started off in my back after being attacked then it was my left hip thigh groin then shoulders and neck and left arm basically everywhere my back went again on Saturday playing pool and then my neck but doctors do nothing apart from offer amitriptyline and say it`s chronic pain.

Hello

When you injure a part of your body, you do things to compensate.

You adjust your body, so you don't hurt the part already hurting ... IE your knee. ... this can lead to other issues if it goes on for an extended period.

It is possible though have a muscular strain from the time your right knee hurt, and you kept your body in not normal positions to cope, and to continue to carry on.

I'd suggest you speak to your regular Dr, and ask about going to physiotherapy.

If you have some money of your own, you may want to visit a chiropractor.

I have neck arthritis and shoulder arthritis both cause issues with upper back pains and if it’s really acting up back and side if my head will hurt … annoying
