Anyone ever sleep on their shoulder wrong and have it hurt for days? (hexbear.net)

idk wtf I did but I woke up 2 days ago with this pain in my shoulder right inside where the shoulder itself meets my chest and man it hurts. It's so bad in the morning I can't lift my arm over my head. But as the day goes on (and taking some nsaids) it lessens a bit.

What did I do to myself?

I think we agree, I only wanna quibble over the word "fight" though. I can fight even if I know I'll lose. And in the meantime I get to be more in touch with my body, and it'll perform better and withstand the insults of daily life better than if I hadn't bothered. I'm not trying to imply my stretches and PT can stop or reverse the natural aging process. Just putting myself in a better position to deal with what I already know is coming. Peace.
