Consider experimenting with side or back sleeping if stomach sleeping seems to worsen your pain.

Persistent or worsening back pain should not automatically be blamed on sleeping posture. It may have other causes that require assessment.
Seek prompt medical attention if back pain occurs with new leg weakness, numbness around the groin, or loss of bladder or bowel control.
