I use to carry on the left side until back injury caused too much pain I had to switch to right side.If I am going a long distance I'll put my wallet in my front pocket as it will bother me on a long ride in the car.

Left handed, wallet right rear, keys right front. Carry at 9:00.
To the OP, if I were you starting "fresh", I'd get a new wallet (no curve) and thin it out as much as practical... or consider front pocket carry of the wallet (your Chiropractor would agree).

I carry on the same side as wallet. I use a Tac-Pro minataur IWB with an XD .45 in 5" at 3 o'clock. When I reach for my wallet I just place my hand on the opening of my cover garment to hold it in place. This keeps the garment from catching or riding up.
Another suggestion is to move the carry location from 4 o'clock to 3. That way you should not get the interference.

Neither!
I don't carry a standard wallet anymore. I carry one of these in my front left pocket. beza Money Clamp, The Money Clip That Works Video: http://www.beza.biz/moneyclamp/howitworks |

Left handed, wallet goes in right rear but, I did have to get a new wallet because the old one was molded to my left cheek.

Front and rear. Thin wallet on my strong side rear because that's where I've carried it for my whole life and you never know when I might need to quickly draw my comb with my weak hand left rear pocket. The billfold only has incidentals that might be needed (check out the link). Money clip, credit card, DL, and CCW (stuff I use) in my right front pocket.

I am also left handed, but right eye dominant, so I keep my M&P 40c IWB about 4:00. I had a hard time with the wallet at first, but once I got used to where my holstered gun comfortably rests behind my hip, my wallet kind of adjusted position to fit behind the gun. It was uncomfortable for a few days, but not at all now. I do have to be conscious every time I take out my wallet to not pull my shirt up too much (having my undershirt tucked OVER my gun helps with this, but slows draw speed slightly).
Long story short, I would just give it some time. |

Sometimes I put a decoy wallet in a back pocket. It has been well over two decades since I carried a real wallet in a back pocket.
Part of this is to prevent backaches. Partly, it is so my ATM cards and work ID and such last longer. Partly, is is to mitigate loss, whether that loss is accidental or through theft. |

I switched to a small front pocket wallet before carrying and it just makes my life so much easier. I carry only what I need on a day to day basis... ETA: This is the one I use: http://www.amazon.com/Slimmy-Front-P...0336674&sr=8-8

What pgrass101 said. I've always carried my wallet in my left pocket and I'm a righty. Makes it real easy to carry my G33 or 32 at 3:30 IWB.
