Sleeping in pain

[ღaqυa мaяιneღ]

I have recently had a problem sleeping and was wondering if anyone has any suggestions or knows what is wrong. I used to be able to sleep just fine on my side in bed but here for the last year now I have only been able to sleep sitting up. I cannot lie down in any position for any ammont of time without feeling a severe pain in my groin area. The pain only subsides when I sit up so that's what I do. Weather or not it is healthy I don't know as I don't have medical coverage and no way to get to the hospital so this is my only option is to ask someone. Any advice would be appreciated!

madness,

How is your back feeling lately? The reason I ask is because this sounds like a familiar problem among people with lumbar disk related injuries. When you are laying on your side, the spinal cord conforms with your laying position and may be pinching on a nerve. As you sit up, this takes the pressure off the nerve and the pain subsides. Of course I am no doctor... but I have heard several people complain of similar pain and numbness in the legs for lumbar disk issues.
