A member asked:
Can left side body pain be a symptom of health anxiety?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
In general, Pain is a signal for one to pay attention to where the pain is coming from. A one sided body pain can be due to anything from Muscle strain from posture and position to nerve issues and more. Since treatment is most effective when the cause is addressed it might be a good idea to see the PCP/GP for physical evaluation and investigative studies if indicated.
