      I sleep on my left side, which is the shoulder where I have osteoarthritis and biceps tendinitis. I did change my pillow and am going to try the tips from the video. Thanks.

      Love it! I sleep in No.2 and did the pillow remedy in trial and error to ease the pain. I'm happy its a remedy. Thanks for sharing all the others.

      I used to sleep on my back with both arms straight overhead like I was under arrest. I didnt start that way but I ended up that way. Now I sleep with an arm wrapped around a sleeping cat in one arm and a pillow under the other one.

      I’m sleeping on my right side but tend to shift back and forth under the night. But this summer I hurt my left shoulder and ended up with a frozen shoulder that really hurts. I tried all the pillow remedies but I wakes up in the middle of the night with pains and the pillows on the floor. They help as long they are still in position but ends up in a mess. So what can I do? Keep on trying because it’s like everything else. You have to teach your body to accept the new situation.

    I cant thank you enough. After my neck surgery I was having trouble sleeping and had so much shoulder pain that It took everything I had just to put a shirt on. I was working on my Shoulder pain in Physical therapy with no relief. I was actually starting to get depressed about it.
    I came across your video and gave it a try. What a difference. Seriously after the first night I could lift my arm above my shoulder again. I sleep and feel so much better now. I actually wake up early just to see how much better I feel. This has been life changing. Thank you

  • @L.i.s.a....
    @L.i.s.a.... 3 роки тому +115

    Oh yes, I can attest to the extra pillows support- I am one of those folks that must sleep on left side which happens to be my sore shoulder /rotator. The gap with pillows is perfect for sleeping on my sore side. I also turn slightly on back with a pillow behind me as you described so well in this video. It was a life saver. Thank you to you and your wife for a really great, educational channel!

    I'm a side sleeper, don't, can't, won't sleep on my back or stomach. I discovered or created the shoulder 'canal' or 'trough' for myself a good while ago and am very pleased to see here on your video that I've been doing the right thing. It's seems to really be helping my right shoulder.

  • @shustes1

    Hi,
    Since you asked about sleeping positions, I'm happy to share mine which is quite specific & intricate, and works very well for me. I sleep mostly on my right side, with two pillows.
    Under my head I use a dense Tempurpedic pillow for support. Feather pillows collapse so they're no good. I like to have my head at the same angle as my body.
    Then I use a full-length, Tempurpedic body pillow to 'hug'; I affectionately call it my "huggy pillow". When I'm laying on my side, if I don't have this body pillow, my left arm would hang and my knees would meet and cause tension. With the body pillow, my left arm & leg rest gently across it. Plus, I have the body pillow come right up against my lower jaw to keep my mouth closed and prevent snoring by forcing me to breath through my nose. Between my head pillow and my body pillow is a gap just perfect for my right arm.
    Not done yet. My going-to-bed regiment is not complete without an earbud in my left ear, listening to something on UA-cam. I know this might sound crazy, but I cannot sleep with complete silence, or even soothing sounds like White Noise. I need to listen to something in order to keep my brain from going into overdrive and stirring over the day's stress.
    With that, I'm inevitably out in 10-15 minutes.

    Have been sleeping on my left side from past 12 to 15 years and finally been diagnosed with shoulder impingement. Tried too many exercises, which helped me to reduce pain but needed a better and comfortable sleeping position. This comment is immediately after trying the first position (pillow 45 degrees half on chest) for 5 seconds and the instant relief was great. So commenting this while holding my phone with left hand and aggregating the pain. 😜But the first position really helped. Will comment further on remaining positions.
    Edit. #2 position is great as well. The relief is amazing. However this only for people who can sleep with too many pillows. But as he said earlier sleeping with dozens of pillows is better than waking up of pain. #3 position is really bad and should be avoided at any cost. Making a canal and tilting a bit on our back side helps a bit but is not as helpful as #1 and #2. So please try to avoid #3. #4 is a big no. Can't do anything for #4 people because it's not only hurting your shoulders but your spine, chest and God knows what not. So #1 and #2 are best so far.
    Not a doctor not a fan just trying to help who are suffering like me.

I do not want to pay a specialist to learn how to properly sleep because i am saving sincr my gf is pregnant and we dont make much money. As the responsible man, i need my health for my new family's sake but with this pain i feel useless cuz moving my arm, turning my head to look right when i drive, putting a shirt on, ect all hurts alot.

I somehow got used to sleeping on my stomach with my arms up and was suffering from shoulder pain. I couldn’t even lift my arm up to put my shirt on for 2 weeks. I can now raise my hand up with no pain in my shoulder at all! Saved me a trip to urgent care or the emergency room. Thank you!!!

I can’t sleep on my back and laying on either side was just too painful, so I tried the side-sleeping pillow positions and it was such a relief to the pain. I only woke up once in the night and I wasn’t in as much pain in the morning. Thank you so much!

    I've tried to sleep on my back because my shoulder has been hurting so much but sometimes (everytime) my body just want to curl up in a ball on my right (painful) side, I've sometimes just given in and accepted it'll be painful, sometimes I've managed to barter with myself and just spend a few comforting minutes on my side then turn back to my back but now I can't wait to try the canal and possibly be able to sleep all night on my beloved side minus the agonizing pain!

    I have had bicep tendonitis for months on end without any improvement at all; I had visited a physiotherapist (who gave me exercises) a chiropractor (who gave massages) and a doctor (who just said to wait it out). Despite that, no noticeable improvement. When I tried the 3:40 sleeping position, my recovery improved dramatically - this has been virtually a life changer as far as i'm concerned. I am now slowly getting back to previous functionality. THANK YOU for uploading this. I was searching only for shoulder exercises but then the blessed algorithm suggested me this.
    NOTE: For the 3:40 sleeping position, I do add an extra pillow underneath so that my arm is not even slightly bending downwards; its at a total 90 degree angle relative to my side. I have taken this an extra step forward, so when I sit on the coach I have pillows under my arm to support it there also.

  • @ValerieL.62
    @ValerieL.62 2 роки тому +11

    This video just came up in my recommend feed. That's how I've been sleeping for years. I use my big "my pillow" for hugging and a smaller one between my elbow and ribs/waist. Then there's one for my bottom arm to lean up against to ease elbow extension. And, last but not least, a reasonably flat one been my knees/thighs. Sounds like overkill, but it helps.

    I have slept on the couch which is very firm (& on the side) for many weeks due to depression + insomnia, and now I have shoulders pain. I thought it was because of my lifestyle (i workout a lot) but my sleeping position might be one of the reason I’m in pain right now. None of the rehab workout work to elevate the pain (kind of a burning pain, like someone is stretching my tendon 24/7). I will force myself to sleep on my bed and on my back for now and will come back for an update in a couples of weeks so my situation might help others who are dealing with the same pain. Cya

    I need to thank you for this! I am a side sleeper. Even why I try not to, I always end up there and one shoulder has an old injury so that's not helpful. I tried the technique with two pillows - one under my head, one under my torso and creating a valley for my shoulder - and it was the best sleep I've had in ages. My shoulder feels much better this morning, too! Thank you again!

    When I sleep on my back with my hands on my stomach, my arms fall asleep. Like the blood doesn't want to flow upward. Also, the correct angle for my neck seems to be different each night.

    Honestly saw this few weeks ago & position 2 with shoulder under torso & rolling back was a game changer. Had this rare shoulder pain only when sleeping on my right shoulder for first time ever for weeks which felt awful, thought it was just sprain would go in few days, this really eased the pain/comfort & thankfully most the pains gone. Also back generally feels better with pos 2 as feels supported.

    I had found this to be true. However, it makes for an dispute over bed space now. So... I know sleep in the recliner most of the night, and it helps A LOT. When I do sleep in bed, I definitely relate to #3 and will be adding that second pillow under the elbow of my arm. Currently I use just the first pillow under my arm to prop it off bed.

    I find my many pillows are not so abnormal after all. Positions of pillows, between knees, behind back, under top arm (side sleeper), one center front to wrap my arms around, under my head a narrow pillow so my neck is supported. This arrangement helps me get to sleep. Shoulder pain is so exhausting if I don't get sleep. Thankyou for you video.

      I am 66. I hurt both of my shoulders from weight lifting at the shoulders too heavy, too fast. Damned painful, especially on my bed. I have sort of crawl onto my bed, crawl out. Getting better, but ever so slowly. MIDOL twice a day. Going to do some gentle slow stretches. Using electric massager at the shoulder. Rub on ointment first. Miserable old man in Cebu City. I gotta learn to be careful, go slow, doing my workouts...

    Thank you for your video. Few months ago I was sleeping on my belly, like you did at the end of the video and when I woke up and wanted to move, for a fraction of a second my right shoulder did not release the muscle and I felt like a big intense pain like someone shoot me into the shoulder. The pain was sudden, very powerful, like my muscle was broken in half. I had to take it easy for over 10 days to get rid of the main pain but I still have some level of pain every day and some movement issues and I also see that the top of my right shoulder is a bit smaller now. I suppose it it a bit of atrophy there. And I love so much to sleep on my belly...:(:(:(

    Yeap!! If you have rotator cuff and shoulder pain issues, pillows and more pillows are the best solution. What's the big deal? Where is it written that we all must sleep with just one pillow? Go for it! You'll be glad you did it. And for those without shoulder pain issues, I'll say, the positions with pillows recommended here, are actually great for everybody so to avoid pain and stiffness in the future. Just one more thing: not all your pillows should be of the same hight and thickness. Get at least three different ones to accomodate the different positions in which you like to sleep. Thanks for a great video!!
