   Hi, I'm female, 46. For the last few months, when lying on my right side in bed reading, I get this excruciating twisting sort of bulging pain near my hip. IT feels like something is going to burst if I move. I can't think how else to describe it. When I move (in agony) it eventually subsides. For the next few days the area feels really bruised as if I've been punched. It happens every so often but is becoming more frequent, only on the right side and only when I lie in that position.

   I thought at first kidney pain, appendix or ovarian pain but because it's sporadic I don't think it can be.

   Can anyone shed any light please?

   I suppose it could be IBS but I'm not convinced

   been for a scan this morning and no kidney stones or bladder problems. Asked them to check for ovarian probs and as far as they could see nothing there either. Still got the nasty pain in the area of my appendix - several months now and sporadic so I realise it's not dangerous. Annoying though. I'll ask GP about it at next pointment.
