Lower right pelvic pain under hipbone worse when laying on back?

Pelvic pain: If the pain is posterior( in the back) where the spine meets the pelvis then it sounds like a sacroiliac joint sprain ( which can be aggravated by lying down). If anti-inflammatory medications have not helped then a local steroid injection to the sacroiliac joint can be if help. Above all a thorough musculoskeletal exam is warranted. Also a thorough gynecological history should be obtained.

Sacroiliac joint: A large pelvic girdle joint, called sacroiliac joint (sij) can shift causing this pattern of pain, which sounds like sciatica. Pain from lumbar disks diminishes with lying down. Pain from pelvis increases, especially if you lie on your back or on pained side. Try sleeping on left side with a body pillow between legs. If becomes chronic see osteopath or physiatrist for diagnosis & therapy.
