I sleep on my left shoulder a lot, and when my friends come over and spend the night, i let them have the bed, and i get the floor.
One night, i woke up to find a horrible pain in my shoulder, which is probably from sleeping the wrong way on hardwood floor.
But ever since that one night, the pain keeps getting worse and worse.
Every time i sleep on my bed and wake up the next morning on my left shoulder, the pain is back and unbearable. What should i do?

that happens to me to. just get someone to massage it, see if theres a knot in your shoulder, mines gone away now, try not to use it too much. find a new way to sleep. hope it gets better
Ice your shoulder up to ten minutes, three times a day. If you are able to take anticoagulants, then take Advil; 400 mgs. twice a day for three days. Sleep on your back, not your side, or you’ll continue to re-injure it. Should be better in three days.
you need to support your neck muscles… try doing this: take two pillows & cross them over each other on top, like an upsidedown V (firm pillows), then take a softer pillow & put it across the others, making sorta like an A;; when you lie on your back, take the bottom of the top pillow & sorta scrunch that part under your neck a little so as to “fill in” the small of your neck to help support the area;; & when you lie to your side, you do not have to move the pillows, they should be positioned over your shoulder @ this time to “fill in” the space between your head & your shoulders;; by the way, NOT a good idea to sleep only on one side, can alter your aligment in your spine, both hips, both knees, both shoulders, etc, etc; moving around in bed is the best thing for us. Try starting your sleep on your right side & stay there as long as you can tolerate;; eventually you’ll be “tossing & turning” like the rest of us. Good Luck!!
i know what your going through
