Unsure: Hello, sorry to hear that you are having a difficult time. There are multiple theories here, all of which are based on physical pressure being put on the bladder in some way when you turn onto your left side. It could be pressure from outside the bladder or lack of "support" from postural muscles inside your pelvis. Would be happy to discuss further over inbox consult if you wish. Thanks!
