severe pain while lying down
If I roll onto my back while I'm sleeping I wake up with severe pain in my lower abdomen. I don't know how long I have to be laying in this position before the pain starts. When the pain eventually wakes me, I am frozen in that position and have to slowly raise my knees and get turned onto my side, this sometimes takes several minutes. I do usually have to urinate when I can get up but not severely. I think it's possibly my ovaries. My pap exams are normal, I do also have severe hot flashes when I'm laying down, (not usually when I'm standing or sitting). My periods were very regular (28-30 days) without the use of birth control, (I've never used birth control), until I was approximately 40. Since then, I have 2-3 per year. I'll have 2 or 3 in a row, then skip 8 months or so and have 2 or 3, etc. I have been treated for back pain in the last few years, sometimes I think its my back, and other times I think its my female organs. I can't really tell where the pain is.
