Hey guys (sorry if this post is off-topic, a moderator can move it somewhere else if appropriate). I have IBS-C and I have been having trouble for a while now lying on my side when I go to bed. It's pretty painful, to be honest - it feels as if my ribs are rubbing up against my colon. No, I highly doubt anything is wrong with my ribs or anything, it's just as if my colon is rubbing up against something. I have pain no matter which side I sleep on - if I sleep on the left side, it feels as if I'm squishing my colon, and if I sleep on the right side, it feels as if it is rubbing up against something. I can usually sleep on my side with no pain if I just went to the bathroom, I'm guessing because my colon is empty and not going to rub up against anything. So, my question is, is this normal? Does anyone else here have trouble sleeping on their sides? Thanks!
John
