Everything happen to the left side of my body

aze
Hi,
I am a 57 yrs old female. I have noticed that everything that occurs to my body is always on the left side. If I have sinus the pain is on the left side, my left eye gets puffy and teary with allergies, fever blisters are also on the left side of the mouse. I could go on with examples. I had an accident a few years ago on my left foot. I have a 4 hours operation to reconstruct the ankle, ligaments etc. I am not sure if this is the reason, because I remember having always the feeling that the left side of my body does not work as well as the right. Severe neck pains, shoulder pains also occur in this side. Lately I notice that I am transposing letters with my left hand when I write in the computer. This left side unbalance has increased during the past year. I sleep on my left side because I breathe better. I don't have major health problems otherwise but I am beginning to worry as I noticed that ailments always happen on the left side. I know our bodies are not symmetrical but this is beyond that; it feels that the strength and energy of my left side is diminishing. Any suggestions?
Thanks
aze

I know what you are going through. I'm 40 years old and I have been having the same problems with my left side. I feel like something is taking over and shouldn't be there. It's not myself and I don't feel well anymore, cry all the time.

Here are my problems:

Left leg pain.
Severe burning ear.
Major left head pain above my ear.
Numbness in my hand, leg, arm and foot.
Dilated left eye.

But the only problems I am having now is my ear and head pain.
I have had several test done. Now we are trying to rule out MS. I had a HIV test today and I'm waiting for an appoinment for the MRA. I'm having everything test done that I can. I'm financially broke but I need to feel better for me and my daughter.

I went from being a healthy woman to a confused and depressed woman.
I had a hysteretomy in August but my problems started in April of 2008.
All the Doctors told me that my hormones would not cause these problems but I'm beginning to wonder.

Keep in touch and let me know how you are doing.

Keep the faith.

Hi ... it is now 2018, it has been 9+ years since you mentioned this.  Has there been improvement, or did you find a chiropractic solution?  It might have been your Atlas pinching something on that side.
Hi i was wondering if I was crazy, im am a woman 54 this month and have been having the same issues for a number of years,. I was thinking it was balance and or just plain bad luck. Most recently I got Shingles which only appeared on my left side stomach and back. It was a perfect line down the center of my belly and spine. The I broke my left pinky toe, pulled a muscle in my lower abdomen to my groin on the left, have had pain radiating over and around my spleen, my hip has pain when i lay on it. My ear and eye occationally give me problems and anything that might ail me is ALWAYS on my left side. Left hand, left leg etc. Ive been wrestling with this problem for 12 years now. I feel like its getting incredably rediculous and severly weakening everything on my left. Ps Whats an altlas?

I have the same thing. I get aliments on the left side of my body from athletes' foot to back ache to conjunctivitis. On the right side nothing at all. I even have some grey hairs on the left side of my head but none on the right. The only thing I can think of is I have scoliosis and my left side is higher than the right, noticeable in my shoulders. Weird isn't it?
