Can my brain cause only one side of my body to hurt?!
Question: Can my brain cause only one side of my body to hurt!?
I have constant tightness in my left shoulder!. It goes up into my jaw, down my arm, rib cage, through my chest wall!. My left hip hurts a lot too! If I rub the muscles out and stretch is subsides a lot!. I notice when I get stressed at all my left shoulder starts to tighten up and it spreads like wildfire!. Can one side of my brain cause this!. I have no pain on my right side!. This has been going on for years but just keeps getting worse!. Please only serious answers!. Thank youWww@Answer-Health@Com

it sounds like a muscle may be compressing a nerve!. Im assuming a muscle b/c you said when you rub and stretch the muscle the pain decreases!. I would actually suggest a trip to a massage therapist and have them look at that shoulder!. However if you are getting very sharp pains in the chest or any numbness/loss of function (cannot move or use your arm) go to an md asap!. It sounds like when you are stressed you may be holding the tension in your shoulder which is causing a chain reaction of pain!. Its normal for someone to have chronic pain and holding patterns!.

You might have a pinched nerve!. Also tension in the neck and shoulder and cause the type of pain you are experiencing!. I would go to a doctor to adjust your spine and rub out the muscle!. I don't think it's a heart attach like one person said but it is something you should have looked at by a doctor!. Www@Answer-Health@Com
