What might be the cause of my right-sided pain that extends from my shoulder to my leg, which intensifies before my menstrual periods and subsides afterwards? Tests, including scans of the uterus, MRI, orthopaedic evaluations, and neurological assessments, have shown no abnormalities.

I'm sorry to hear about the pain you're experiencing. Pain that extends from the shoulder to the leg on one side and worsens before menstrual periods but improves afterward, with no abnormalities found on scans and evaluations, may be related to hormonal or menstrual cycle influences rather than structural issues.
Given that your tests including MRI, uterine scans, orthopedic, and neurological assessments are normal, this pattern suggests a possible link to menstrual cycle-related conditions such as:
Medications like Dydrolady (a progesterone hormone therapy) are sometimes used to manage menstrual-related symptoms including pain, irregular cycles, and premenstrual syndrome. Side effects of such medications can include muscle or back pain, which might be relevant to your symptoms.
Recommendations:
Please consult a gynecologist for a thorough assessment and personalized management plan.To narrow down potential causes, we will need some more information.I understand you're dealing with right-sided pain that gets worse before your periods. To better understand, could you please share your age and gender?
