A member asked:

What causes joint pain on the side you use least?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Muscle tone?: Uncertain i understand your questions but i will try to answer it. Your dominant side will have stronger muscles and this muscle tone may protect you more.The non-dominany side may be more deconditioned sicne itis used less. Try a general exercise program.
