Answers:

Did you just get them recently? Normally when you just get them (at least this was the caset when I got mine, but that was around 14 years ago) there is a "break in" period where you wear them for a few hours the first day and increase it each day until you have them in for the whole day. I am not an eye doctor, but just from experience wearing them for so long, your problem could be one of several things:
(1)there could be a foreign object on the lens such as a piece of hair, dirt, an eyelash, etc. Make sure you rinse them thoroughly and rub against the palm of your hand.
(2)every brand of lens is a bit different; you may need to see your doctor to be re-checked and possibly given a different brand of lenses
(3)there could be a small tear in your lens
(4)avoid sleeping with your lenses in (unless you have extended wear lenses) because sleeping with them in deprives your eyes of oxygen
(5)make sure you are cleaning them and storing/disinfecting them properly--it sounds like you are but just as all contacts are different, solutions can be different as well. I know for me there is one brand of solution that burns my eyes terribly and I avoid using it.
(6)if you have disposables, try to remember to replace them as often as you are told

Hope this is helpful
