sleeping problem
Posted , 4 users are following.
I broke my shoulder in March. Because of Lupus I could not get pins in it. I still have pain at night. Does anyone have any thoughts on sleeping positions or sleeping aids. It will take a long time for me to get some range of motion I have a little and the therapy does help. thank you for any advice ,alyce

Sorry to hear that you still have pain! I have always been a pretty good sleeper, so Advil or Advil PM has always helped me get at least the first few hours in. When I had frozen shoulder (still have some issues with my second frozen shoulder) I just worked over time to "teach myself" to sleep slightly upright on my back with several pillows as support. Laying on your side at night can be so painful when you have shoulder issues! For me, a bit of time with a heating pad on my shoulder and neck eased some tightness and tension before sleep too.
Sleep is important, so be sure to let your Dr/health care providers know that you are still struggling!
