Mine is my left side. Always has been. I call it my vulnerable side. Not sure why but defininately worse than the right. The body is a complicated machine. You are not imagining it that is for sure! Take care.
Yes mine started on right side of my body...right arm and hip I was d's at mayo clinic Rochester, Minnesota in 2015, now just got over bout of costochondritis in left chest
Yes, my left side is usually way worse. My chest and arm will both hurt together and yes numbness is also one sided for Me, it alternates sides but the symptoms are frightening... lol I probably lift both arms once a day just to make sure it's not a stroke this time ... silly fibro
My left side is by far the worst. Some pains I will get on both sides of the party but the numbness and tingling only comes on the left Mainly. Also my first symptoms started in the middle of June and peaked over the course of a few weeks and have gotten better but been steady since July as well.
Yes my right side is by far the most painful. From my shoulder all the way down to my feet. Extra sore, and tight muscles.
