A member asked:

Left body pain 24/7 for 8yrs.no pain on right.is it possible left side is shorter/longer/misaligned vs. right?(pain disappears during each menstrual)

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not neurologic: Your physician will evaluate you. This type of pain is not likely to be neurologic. A neurologist might help clarify the etiology - would note that 8 years helped with the menstral cycle suggests a conversion reaction but your physician needs to evaluate this possibility. I don't think the short left side is he reason
