Recently, my son always has joint pain on the left side, like his left knee, ankle or wrist.

Does anyone have the same problem or know anything about why this would be?

Yes - there are quite a few of us with One-Sided pain...mine was always predominantly on the left side as well...not sure why tho...never had anyone give an explanation for that.

Most of my pain issues are on the left side as well...maybe because I'm right side dominate? I don't know...have numbing, tingling and pain often on the left side of my face, left arm and chest region.

all my pain is on my left side. Elbow, rib pain, back , head, pelvic it always seems to be on my left too. I had told my LLMD Dr this and he thinks the Lyme disease affected my left side. I think I got bit behind my left knee. Everytime I complain about something its always on my left. Also having trouble lifting my left arm never used to have this problem. So very strange . Hope u feel better!

Yep, my wife (Lyme patient) always had pain more intensely on the left side. For many years, the right side didn't have much pain at all.

She also has more neuropathy and neuropathic pain on the left side.

I have to break this chain of left-sided pain...mine has always been worse on the right side ...(must be because I am one of those - far right conservatives,,,lol, sorry couldn't resist!)

Have a good weekend!
