Shoulder pain from side sleeping...any solutions?

[BBC3]

I slept on my left side forever, until the point I couldn't lift my left arm above my shoulder and now the same thing in happening to the right now that's I've switched sides of the bed.

This is severely impacting workouts. Shoulder press is a fantasy for me.
Rotating my shoulders sounds like a microphone up to a bowl of rice crispies.

I've google "how to train to sleep on back" and things of that nature. There's techniques, there's pillows, etc.

Anybody experience anything similar? Any solution that worked for someone?

Rice Crispies you may be fukked more than I realize and need some shoulder clean up surgery first so sorry if I banter pointlessly I just love the sound of my own keys....

I don't know you I am just chiming in based on some recent experience I gained...

Honestly it sounds like a total bitch-over like you aunt done shit in decades - Like a buddy of mine. He looks like a little old hunched over little man due to all his sloth..

The best solution is to check your hormones first and make sure they are right. Take 3 mgs of melatonin at bedtime and 3 more when you wake up at 2 am. That's about the only thing that will keep you on your back. You can add beer and pot if you want when the melatonin stops working so well. You should be on top of the pain and lack of movement in about a year and starting to get some good skeletal remodeling underway at this point.. DONT FORGET THE ALEVE / once EOD should do....

Note if you are going to try the back sleeping its one pillow max and a hard flat mattress. Tons of pillows like they are saying for any side sleep attempts. And the problem with sleeping on the back in a position all jakked up with pillows like you are dozing in a lazyboy is that it is not preferential to pull those shoulder BACKWARD and back into proper alignment.

MOMENT - I just misspelled "LazyBoy" and while the Meso dictionary had no knowledge of this word, IT DID HAVE the spelling for LADYBOY... Now thats kinda fukked..

I would just do a complete upper body 2wice per week. Consider skeletal bones take 2 years to Die, Replace & "Remodel". So you have to be on a bench soon, but start with some Hammer strength seated chest and shoulder stuff for now. I wouldn't do more than a light set of shoulders and some incline seated bench sets should challenge you plenty. And it will force those shoulders back into place as the bones are slowly replaced in normal cellular life cycle.

DONT TRY TO GO FAST or you will wind up on the bench QUICK. It will take two years to get half way there if you just get busy now. But then after the first two years you will accomplish all that you did and more during the third year once you are off and running..

And dont forget to work the back. 3-4 sets twice a week on everything upper body is all you need to start. Its like 20 sets per workout - GRAVY..

Try vigorous masterbation to increase blood flow through arm and shoulder, if you've been sleeping on that side long enough it may be numb, if so you now have the added benefit of pretending someone else is doing it

If you have to sleep on your side. Raise your arm and hand above your head. This rotates the shoulder joint.. Put your bicept under the pillow under your head and hand up near bed head. The other you can tuck into your pants or your sweets pants. Just the arm you lay on goes up.
