Pain/Numbness On Dominant Side?
A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question 💭

It seems to me that all or most of my pain or numbness (depending on the day) is always on my left side. Whether it be my hand, shoulder, hip, leg, foot, etc... I'm left handed. While discussing this with a friend who also has fibro she said hers seems to be on the opposite side. (She's right handed.) Obviously, we both have days where the pain is all over, but it just seems to be more severe on the dominant side. Anyone else have or notice this?

Yes the left side of my body seems worse. I've had numbness only left side of the body. Not an everyday thing but it happens here and there.

Yes.... Painful right arm. I also get pain now and then around my old appendectomy area. But, then again, my left knee hurts worse than right one. An old injury.
Tingling and numbness experienced in the right hand now and then.

I do. But I'm left handed and most of my pain is on my right side.... I also have a Chiari Malformation (2) - which is in the neck, and another member here on the site has it also, - she had surgery on hers and it helped some of her numbness and pain. Just something else to through in the mix lol.
