Shoulder



Share Emailz

That might be a loaded question, and it reminds me of the old joke:

Patient: "Hey, doc. It hurts when I do this."

Doctor: "Then don't do that any more."

Just because you've always done something one way doesn't mean there won't come a time when you will have to make a change. It might not have been the position you had your arm in but what ocurred when you had it that way.

Of course the first suggestion is the old stand-by, did you see your doctor? Not knowing what you mean by "I injured my shoulder" I'd say you need to have it looked at to know what could have caused it and what you need to do to prevent it from happening again.

That being said, anything I might suggest would be pure conjecture as far as being helpful advice. You could consider physical therapy, chiropractic manipulation, accupuncture or osteopathic manipulation to improve range of motion, manage pain and prevent re-injury. Consider the age and condition of your bedding and pillows too. It may be time they be replaced with more supportive and comfortable alternatives.
