best pillow for nerve impingement in shoulder

Posted by handcyclegal @handcyclegal, Aug 17 2:21pm

I have a nerve impingement in my shoulder, I guess what they typically call “frozen shoulder“. What is the best pillow and sleeping position for this condition. Thanks.

I sleep on my back, pillow under my knees. Place a tightly rolled/thick towel lengthwise down the side of your torso, press it in the arm pit or just under the shoulder joint. Try to find a position & thickness that relieves the pain. For sitting I purchased a nursing pillow. The pillow helps by supporting both shoulders. When I read I put a book on it and it elevates it to a comfortable reading height which relieves my shoulder and any neck tension too. Hope these suggestions help you out.
