To answer your question, it depends on how the screws are inserted. The screw on my right hip was done in such a way that that's always been the more painful hip. It's getting better now, but it was pretty painful at first. I can sleep on my sides now, but that's only because I have a soft memory foam mattress. If it were a harder mattress, I think it would still hurt.
