Thumbs up good poll!
I am right handed, and my sx are worse on the right side, but I believe the right is worse because of 1) a failed surgery on that side and 2) the left side benefited from a nerve block 2 days before my pec minor disinsertion surgery.

Mine was worse on the left , probably due to gripping & left sided static postures at work.
But I also have some R shoulder strain/impingement from repetitive tool use & reaching at work.

Now usually my R elbow will complain first if I do too much @ computer.
Sides of neck takes turns tightening up...

Left side is worse. I'm right handed. I slept on my left side exclusively for years which I think added to the compression. Also, as a kid I fell on my left side in a brutal fashion a couple of times.

Perhaps the poll should have also asked if one was left handed or right handed, and which side had received more trauma of any nature.

Right side is worse and I am right-handed. For me, it could be due to my right cervical rib being larger than the left. The left side started becoming symptomatic when I began using it for heavy lifting and was only sleeping on the left side (now I can't sleep on either).
