Oh Man that was me a year ago! I had had an injury as a child in the same spot and feel it makes me vulnerable to this day for that spot. Today it is not bothering me but when it does this is what I do...I move from the bed to a reclining chair where I am on my back and can't roll over. (I especially like the ones that are motorized and can bring you to a standing position) apply heat (icy hot patches) and ice (soft kind you refrigerate) every few hours and I sleep with a rolled up sheet under my neck instead of a pillow. This is the only thing that helps. It took me a year to find this solution. Good luck. I feel your pain. (pun intended)
