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?

    Medium or firm mattresses aren't for side sleepers. Maybe that's what you have?

    I sleep on a futon oh-shit kind of a hard mattress thingy.

      Oh, have you simply considered sleeping on a soft futon? agony-deep

      Sorry, Comrade, I shouldn't have assumed. I also slept on a futon for many years until fairly recently. It's rough and probably the cause of your discomfort.

        It's okay! I actually have a bed, but I found the futon easier to sleep on. Maybe I should switch over to the bed which has just been covered in clothes and papers.

          I recommend a floor bed, like a nice foam one. Has been fantastic for my back and the act of getting up off the floor to get out of bed has increased by hip strength quite a bit lol.

          I also preferred futons and couches over beds, this is way better now
