Hello,
Thanks for using HCM.

I can understand your concern.
Pain due to change in position is usually muscular.
But if lower left abdomen is loaded due to constipation or fullness of bladder it may cause pain.
You might have hurt your lower left abdominal muscle while straining to move your bowel, or stretching.
You are doing right thing by taking plenty of fluids.
Heating pad will help you.
Take ibuprofen , paracetamol and chlorzoxazone after meals twice daily for 3 to 5 days.Hope you have answer to your query.
