Anyone have hip pain from side-lying nursing?

I started nursing DD in bed recently, just so that both of us can get a little more sleep, but after a few hours, my hips ache, even with a pillow between my legs.  Today my hips have ached all day.  I'm not sure I can continue doing it, unless the hip pain is short-lived.

Has anyone else experienced this?  How long did it last?  Is there anything else I might do to control it?

TIA!

    I get leg pain, not necessarily hip pain. I think it's because we co-sleep that way and I stay in the same position all night. I don't know what I can do to make it better but I'll just deal with it because it allows us all to sleep for a  6 hr stretch or so.

    I have to switch sides at least every few hours and adjust where the pillow between my legs is. I move it higher/lower and that helps.
