Uncomfortable lying on my side

Does anyone find it uncomfortable/ occasionally painful to sleep on your side in bed?

Thats how i prefer to sleep but lately have been needing to tuck the covers under my tummy or more on my front to stop it being uncomfortable.

Any ideas what it could be? I find its worse after ive emptied my bladder.

Thanks, K

Could it be an Endometrioma? If you haven't already, get the doc to refer you for an ultrasound to check for cysts. X

Hi. I have the same thing on my right side. I know I have a large chocolate cyst there so I always thought it was that. I always get it in the night and after I pee and get back in bed ?

Yeh I do, I get an uncomfortable and annoying shooting pain in my side when I am laid on my side so I have to sleep on my back :( - maybe because I also have a cyst on my ovary.
