Only happens when I sit against a soft surface or lie down on my bed in a way that puts pressure on the lower right side.

I'm not a medical professional, but I can offer some suggestions to help alleviate your lower back discomfort based on general advice.

Gentle stretching: Try some gentle stretches for your lower back, such as knee-to-chest stretches or cat-cow stretches, to help release tension in your muscles.

Heat and/or cold therapy: Applying a heating pad or ice pack to the affected area may help to reduce pain and inflammation.

Adjust your posture: Be mindful of your posture while sitting or lying down, and try to maintain a neutral spine. Use a lumbar roll or cushion to support the natural curve of your lower back.

Change sleep position: If you're experiencing discomfort while lying down, consider placing a pillow between your knees if you sleep on your side, or under your knees if you sleep on your back. This can help to maintain the alignment of your spine and reduce pressure on your lower back.

Over-the-counter pain relief: If your pain is persistent, you might consider taking over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen or acetaminophen, but be sure to follow the recommended dosages and consult with a healthcare professional if you're unsure.

If your discomfort continues or worsens, it's seek medical advice, as there may be an underlying issue that requires professional attention.

Absolutely serious. Pillow flattens spine. Releases tension
