Pain in one side of the body

I have had pain for a long time that I haven’t been able to get help for and was wondering if someone might have any thoughts.

I have pain in one side of my body; between shoulder blade and spine, right hip, sometimes a bit in the other hip and inside right knee. I also feel tension in the right side of my head, both at the front, around the eyebrow, and at the back. And I sometimes notice when breathing deeply I breathe into my right side less.

The pain in the shoulder gets worse with exercise that put a lot of strain on the shoulder. Other than that, I can’t see anything that makes it worse.

I have tried to get help before but got to hear things like it might be because I have flat feet and I should just exercise less and another time that it’s normal that the body isn’t completely straight.

I did go to a chiropractor for pelvic distortion for some time which didn’t relive the pain, and this was before the knee and shoulder pain.

I don’t know if the problem is flat feet, tilted hip, different long legs, if it comes from the back or something else entirely.

I’m also wondering if this could have something to do with my sleep problems or at least being a contributing factor.

So if someone can tell me anything that could be helpful - what the root cause could be, if you’ve had a similar experience, some knowledge that might help if I try to get help again or some way to get help with this – I’d be very grateful.

A new stranger

Hello there. Welcome to my mind's unkept thoughts. A disturbed sanctuary of pain, loneliness and struggles i have yet to share. I was born into a world which was not my own, alone, misunderstood, craving to be seen and chosen. Despite the trials and tribulations this life continues to offer me, i remain fighting a battle that serves to destroy me, leaving me scarred, broken, alone, tired, yet undefeated. This blog serves as my voice, my way of shedding light on the monsters within. To those fighting the battles which remain unspoken , know that you are never alone, as we all have monsters in our closets. We are the conquerors of our fate, the warriors to our minds battles and the survivors of our darkest moments.

It helps me sleep, with my kicking, cramping legs, and anxiety.

Dedicated to my dear, late friend Marcia, who got hooked on opioids trying to escape MS-related pain.
