Most of my shoulder issues are sleep related since I sleep on my side. Getting a body pillow system, was costly but kinda worth it. Helps with shoulder and GERD. Only issue is that it's kinda warm and I like to sleep cool.

The issue with those inclined pillows with the arm hole in them is that they can be a really hard angle for a side sleeper to be at. It makes my back and hips hurt way worse than my shoulder.

Any recommendations? I have GERD and generally sleep on my back, which helps but isn't perfect.

You can try raising the head part of the bed by 5 - 6 or so inches using wood blocks. The doctor recommended it to me.

It's not perfect, but has really helped me!

		Same here, it helped a lot. Also don't eat a big meal and go straight to bed. Aim for an earlier dinner.

Cervical radiculopathy can cause shoulder pain. I have experienced this quite a bit and it's probably also because of my sleeping style. I wouldn't get an MRI unless I was planning to have surgery.

This doesn't inspire confidence, but I guess any improvement that mitigates pain is nice.
