My boyfriend gets pain only down the right hand side of his body, MRI scan clear what could it be?

Question

He has had symptoms on and off for 15 yrs, recently undergone a double hernia operation and this healed a while ago but he is still getting exrutiating pain only on his right hand side, arm, leg, groin, eye. He has had an MRI that was clear and now been put on epilepsy tablets as apparently they treat nerve pain but he is not getting any better and still no diagnosis. Any suggestions as his healthcare runs out in October (as he's being made redundant too!)

Answer 1

Well whatever you do, don't continue to seek real medical advice and/or treatment.

Instead seek the opinions of the experts here on Yahoo! Answers, after all they are all medically trained and will give you expert opinions that they will stand behind.

Answer 2

Has he tried a chiropractor or an osteopath. I've found a marvellous physiotherapist where I live who has been very helpful to me, but I know people who swear by chiropractors. (A chiropractor diagnosed me as having a candida problem years ago when the ordinary doctors were stumped and when I followed his instructions the candida in my spine cleared up within a week. I previously hadn't been able to stand upright)
Hope your boyfriend gets the right help soon. Keep him away from surgeons. They are usually quite happy to put people under the knife to further their scientific research. (and to make a lot of money!!)

Answer 3

Sounds like a problem with a plexus of nerves. A plexus is where a bundle of nerves coming from the spinal cord divide into smaller branches.
Right brachial plexus problems will affect the eye and arm on that side while sciatic plexus problems will affect the groin and leg.
Why he could have this could be an underlying disorder like Syringomyelia or MG ;or it could be psychological and stress related.
Please see a neurologist for a complete analysis.

For a number of reasons: 1) Its comfortable 2) It gets itchy often 3) Concealing bonor (rarely) 4) Second nature 5) Why not?!

Answer 6

mri is a really good test to have so if that negative-has his dr suggested pain blocks-its epidural treatments to his back or neck where-ever the pain is-i could see like his arm or leg pn but i dont know about the groin or eye pn to suggest a herniated disc-maybe get a second opinion

Answer 7

Ask your doctor about an exercise routine. Regular exercise, such as walking three times a week, may reduce neuropathy pain, improve your muscle strength and help control blood sugar levels. Gentle routines such as yoga and tai chi might also help.

Answer 9

10 years ago i had double hernia
the only pain i get is in my groin
i am prescribed "diclofenac sodium enteric coated tablets"
judging from what you say this is nothing to do with his hernias
sounds like blood problems lack of vitamins and minerals
or had a mild heart attack/stroke
i have a friend with similar symptoms he had a stroke
