yes , it woke me up .Was forced to sleep on my left side. It wasn't overwhelming pain,but very concerning because it felt internal.

Did not have any other effects . I thought it was serious because of where the pain was.

Detailed Answer:
Welcome for follow up.
Thanks for the details.

* As there are no other associated symptoms, I recommend following at present

- Avoid direct pressure bearing over the area.
- Apply heating pad and ice alternatively over the area 3-4 times a day.
- Take tablet ibuprofen ( 400 mg ) after meals 3 times a day with antacid tablets.
- Consume more liquids to maintain hydration.
- Check to have regular, smooth bowel evacuations.

* Follow up after 24 hours or early as per the progress of the condition for
deciding further course of action and discussing need of x-ray or ultrasound.

Wish you fine recovery.

Take care.
