Side Sleeping Shoulder Pain and how I Found a Simple Cure

Side Sleeping Shoulder Pain and how I Found a Simple Cure. Being a side sleeper, it has taken a toll on my shoulders for some reason. I don't remember it being a problem when I was younger but now it is. I have had a lot of pain in the mornings when I wake up. I figured a cure quite by accident.
My pillow wedge on Amazon, linktw.in/IwvoVf
I was a snorer and it kept my wife awake at night. I was diagnosed with Sleep Apnea. I tried the CPAP Machine and just couldn't do it. I turned the machine back in after 2 nights. She suggested I try a pillow wedge and amazingly, it cured by snoring by 95%. Almost instantly. It was a miracle. The pillow wedge also led me to a solution to fix my aching shoulders when I slept. In this video I will show you how I cured my Sleep Apnea and fixed my side sleeping shouler pain when side sleeping. If you are not healthy and don't feel good, it's hard to go on adventures and have a lot of physical activity. The pillow wedge is so simple but has provided amazing results for me to quit snoring and fix my shoulder pain.

Pillow Wedge on Amazon, linktw.in/IwvoVf

[@kellykerstetter3586]

I CANNOT THANK YOU ENOUGH! I bought all of the wedges and I am so happy I could cry that I can sleep again

[@myadventureoutdoors]

That makes me cry, lol. I'm so glad to help you. Figuring this out was life changing for me. I was at my wits end. I wake in the morning now without pain. I'm so glad this is a game changer for you.

[@prasathbala18]

[@recoverykonie407]

Which brand and kind of wedges did you buy and where? Please and thank you.

[@juicegeneral5082]

I bought a pillow specially made like this. Only problem is you start getting lower back pain from the slant. Preferably you need a wedge the length of your body and same technique just raising your whole body not a slant where it puts strain on your hips and low back

[@weinopolice]

Did you find a full-body wedge solution for the lower back issue?

[@Ashbyee]

Omg! This is genius! I am trying this tonight. Going on seven months post rotator cuff surgery sleeping in a horrible recliner.

[@myadventureoutdoors]

Hope it works for you.

[@BPThor]

The term ‘genius’ is somewhat overused these days, but in this case I feel it’s justified! The double wedge, shoulder-groove method is inspired! Fixed my regular morning shoulder pain after only a couple of days! Thank you! 🤝

[@StrengthCircusDD]

You’re more of a doctor than any chiro! This pillow method looks amazing and I can’t wait to try it out. I have suffered from sleep apnea and shoulder pain for years. I couldn’t do a c-pap without drugs to knock me out which I’d rather avoid. I really appreciate you sharing this information. Sleep apnea is a silent killer and many of us can’t do c-pap.

[@myadventureoutdoors]

I have sleep apnea but I couldn't wear the cpap either. Wore it 2 nights I think and said nope. The wedge pillow was a cure for me. If you try this and it works, I'd recommend that you also lift some barbells for shoulder strengthening and pushups. You have to strengthen your shoulders. Good luck.

[@snooze0023]

Dude this could be my lifesaver. Thanks mate ive brought the wedge pillow today.

[@myadventureoutdoors]

Try it, great chance of it working for you. I sleep like this every night. It was life changing for me.

[@SDtropics]

Update? How did it work for you?

[@robertfoster416]

Nice idea Steve and kudos to you for being proactive about your shoulder pain, sleep, and quality of life. Side sleeping can definitely wreak havoc on a number of joints and muscles surrounding the shoulders, neck, and arms as well as the clavicle and thoracic spine. I have discovered this through my own problems with being a side sleeper for many years and I have been exploring ways to correct these issues. Thanks for the video and I hope you find relief moving forward.

[@myadventureoutdoors]

My shoulder is doing quite well now. This technique allowed my shoulder to heal. Thanks for your great comment.

[@burresscounty]

I feel your pain, brother. I have a torn rotator and lower back/sciatica isssues. Between those two things, a good night's rest is rare. I'll do some push ups with ya. Keep us posted!

[@myadventureoutdoors]

You might want to try my method. My first night doing this I think I heard angels sing...or maybe it was the Wifey, LOL

[@retnav92]

Predominantly a side sleeper also, and had shoulder and hip aches years ago. Found the problem was the typical inner-spring mattress we had. Invested in a Serta iComfort Savant matress, and the aches disappeared. Once that problem was solved, I took notice of some neck aches from sleeping, which was due to the pillow. Took the plunge and bought a My Pillow. No more neck aches, and wish I would have purchased one sooner, but balked at the price. They're well worth the cost, imo. Noted the Bamboo logo in the video, and recently stayed at my BIL's house a couple of nights, and they have Bamboo brand pilliws, which are also good for neck support.

[@myadventureoutdoors]

We have several My Pillows and the Adventure Wife loves them. I like them too but I have a firm bamboo pillow oversized. Thanks Chief.

[@myadventureoutdoors]

Thanks!

[@markc.6832]

I've had the same idea. Wow I have a foam mattress, and thought about cutting it but if it didn't work. I'd be out of the only relief I found. I wonder why this hasn't come out in products. I have also been thinking about a water type, but like floating in it. Just trying to figure out some things. Maybe gel balls, maybe like a ball pit but for sleep. But because you have tried the arm tunnel, I will definitely try that first. Thank you. It's nice to know someone else is thinking like I am. It Lets me know I'm going in the right direction. Please keep me abreast of your situation. Thank you for your experimenting too.

[@Liliarthan]

I agree. Maybe tricky to make an easy removable cover for it? Vs the fitted sheets everyone are familiar with? Dunno.

[@richardvk94]

` this is genius I've tried the wedge pillow I've tried sleeping in a chair I just I have a hard time with the back sleeping this is a game changer

[@danielwebster7030]

So, what people are trying to create is a "pocket" where their entire shoulder and arm can rest into while lying on either side. Two long and wide memory foam pieces should do the trick. Cut according to width of bed, about 12 inches thick for the headrest. Then the remainder for support of torso be same width as bed, 12 inches thick, and the length to hips, curving down gradually; or to the feet.

[@robertdaymouse3784]

I tried something similar a few years ago with a box and shifting the mattress down 8" or so relative to the box spring to create that gap. It did alleviate the shoulder pain, but I started experiencing neck pain after a few weeks of it.

[@CarolinaChrisOutdoors]

Again, you credit the the wife with a beneficial solution to a problem.... which does indeed prove you Sir, have a superior brain. I too have started snoring pretty bad... but am a “back-sleeper”... I need to figure out how to stop my snoring too. It would make my wife happy.

[@myadventureoutdoors]

The wedge will still work for you. Once you elevate your head and neck that little flapper in your throat won't block air and cause the snoring. It's AO approved, what else do you need?

[@CarolinaChrisOutdoors]

Adventure Outdoors - if it’s now “AO Tested & Approved” I surely missed my opportunity to get one at a reasonable price. I’m sure they have doubled in price now!!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@mountainsmoore3657]

H8ful 8 chiming in! Dude! The wedge gap is GENIUS!!! I have already had one shoulder surgery and haven't been able to throw a baseball over handed in 15 years. I, too, am a side sleeper and have been having more & more trouble as I age. So, it is a nice change of pace to see someone addressing staying in good shape, as we age, so that we can do this craziness longer!

[@myadventureoutdoors]

If I don't stay in decent shape, those young whippersnappers might think they can dominate me. (silly boys) Try my method. I will almost guarantee you a much better nights sleep.

[@JasonGrodan]

This is huge! I just discovered recently myself that having a gap helps elevate pressure! Going develop my own sleep layout by just moving my mattress down a tad from the wall to create a gap for my arm arm and pillow and see how that works. Rehab will be a huge part of this for sure. Thank again for the video and encouragement!

[@myadventureoutdoors]

Hope it works for you. I was able to eventually heal my shoulders and I'm doing good now.

[@JasonGrodan]

@@myadventureoutdoors my first attempt wan't great as the mattress end was not comfortable for my armpit. I'm thinking of getting some sort of foam topper to go on top of my mattress to make a gap between that and my pillow. I liked your setup but all I have is a mattress on the floor. Let me know if you have any other tips. Thanks!

[@sbm255388]

That is a great idea! I’ve been having horrible shoulder pain and I can only sleep on my sides. I’ve tried everything too. I’m gonna get me a wedge pillow and try this. Thank you very much for making this video!

[@myadventureoutdoors]

Good luck to you.

[@BetterDeadThanRed99]

This Sucks! I've never had shoulder pain in my entire life until buying a new mattress. I exchanged the first firm model for a 'softer' model after experiencing the torture. Over $2000 spent and now I still have intense shoulder pain that prevents me from falling asleep! You cannot detect it from briefly lying on the mattress in a store. You need to actually try to sleep for the pain to set-in. I'm 32, 5'11, 170 pound average guy with slightly broad shoulders (like a swimmer's build) and I've never injured my shoulders at all... but this brand new posturepedic mattress does!!! Feels like my shoulder is pulled out of socket or impinged or something. It's painful to move my arms in the morning and they go numb and tingly from lack of circulation. I actually have a lumbar injury (L4-L5) and my old bed was sagging in the middle and creating some lower back pain and discomfort so I replaced it. Now I'm broke, can't sleep at all and want my old beat up mattress back! What's crazy is that sleeping directly on the floor, although painful, doesn't create the kind of shoulder pain my new $2000 mattress does! Crazy right? I'm probably less than half your age and if I didn't know any better I'd swear that I have a torn rotator cuff! *But I don't* (yet anyway). I'm going to try to rig something together and see if it helps... if that doesn't work, I'll look into getting a nice wedge when it becomes available on Amazon again. I think this problem is actually WAY more common than either of us know. Something happened in the mattress industry since I was kid, I've noticed... inflation and lower quality construction is pretty apparent.

[@TheVanlander]

Been dealing with this for over a month! Appreciate the tip!

[@myadventureoutdoors]

Don't wait too long before finding a cure. I waited too long thinking it would just go away on it's own.

[@TheVanlander]

I've tore a ligament so only thing I can do is give it time and not irritate. The wedge will probably do wonders! Ps lets go camping!

[@RetroRockGamer]

I can relate to this. I have shoulder issues while sleeping.

[@myadventureoutdoors]

Your shoulders hurt from pulling out gigantic unsuspecting bass out of lakes & rivers. I would recommend that the Bass Warlord try my method and not let the shoulder pain fester for too long.

[@TheFurrminator]

So, from what I’ve heard, shoulder pain can be caused by a heavy head which would make sense in your case. The average male brain weighs in at approximately 3 lbs, but a superior brain has to be much heavier. Just something to think about

[@myadventureoutdoors]

Only someone with a superior brain would be able to watch a video and diagnose my shoulder problem as an oversized cranium due to a massive brain putting maximum stress on my shoulders. Well done Jeff. I guess I need a much firmer pillow.

[@sutherlandoutdoors8731]

I tore my rotator cuff about 6 years ago. It's been tolerable, so I haven't bothered to have surgery on it. What worked for me was DDPY (created by former pro wrestler Diamond Dallas Page). Anything that keeps your shoulder's mobility up. I think I'll check out a pair of those Perfect Push Ups soon.

[@rdc3643]

The DDPY really helped? I have herniated disks and degenerative neck disease, torn rotor cuff, bulging disk in back, plus sleep apnea, I didn't realize how much I had going on until I read my own comment just now. Lol. I might look into the program

[@sutherlandoutdoors8731]

Thanks FU. The wedge for me is the real deal. I take it with me when I travel if possible. I even bought one to leave at each of my kids houses when I spend the night. I can't even tell you how much pain my shoulders were in. I tried to sleep on my back but in the mornings I'd wake on my side with bad pain in my shoulders.

[@myadventureoutdoors]

You are correct. Elevated from the waist to head. It's a gradual incline. It's something that you have to get used to. Probably took me 2 weeks to totally get used to the change. I don't know another way to relieve the pressure from your shoulder when sleeping. I would also say to look at getting a small 20 - 25lb barbell and do some curls and tricep curls daily. As you strengthen your shoulder area, the pain will also lessen. It did for me.
