Hello
As you were sleeping on the left and pain is on the right side . This pain extend in the back also , may be due to these possibilities , these include.
1 Right renal colic i.e. urinary tract infection . Diagnosis can be confirmed by urine examination as well as ultrasound of both kidneys to rule out infection as well stone in the kidney ( right side ) .
2 The next possibility may be due to Herpes , as I have noted in my so many patient that such type of pain ( mild dull with burning sensation )which remain on the one side may be due to herpes ( if this pain is not inside abdomen ) . Diagnosis can be confirmed by physical examination by a physician .
3 Consolidation of the lung ( lower lobe ) . Diagnosis can be confirmed by X ray chest .
In my opinion consult a physician and get his opinion as physical examination is important in such type of cases.
Good luck.
