Anyone ever sleep on their shoulder wrong and have it hurt for days?
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.
Let me inject a little hope, for me "getting used to it" involved making time for exercises to rehab and strengthen my problem areas. It's absolutely helped me, highly recommend doing so as one's able
Really pisses me off how often the advice I've ignored my whole life turns out to be the solution to my various miseries.
I'm so lucky not to have had to live a life that's super hard on my joints and shit, so I've gotten away with it for far too long, but this thread is waking me up to myself, again.
Strength training is also way overlooked for health and longevity. It has large benefits even for 90+ year olds. At that age, your hip mobility and strength is one of the most important health indicators. If you can’t get up from sitting, your quality and length of life rapidly diminish.
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.
