Sore Shoulder

CrisR

Hey Guys shattered my left Clavicle many years ago "front tyre blow out on push bike not very exciting"

but since I started putting mass on and returning to the gymn almost every morning I wake up with what feels like some one has given me a whacking punch in the delt.. takes about 2 hrs to subcide.

I have had to increase the amount of pillows as i have become wider..ISH so i can still get arm underneath..

However last night I attempted to sleep on back with good resluts apart from several kicks to stop my snoring.

does any one else suffer with dead arms in the morning or am i getting paranoid about nothing

How the f*** did you blow out the front tyre of a pushbike?Where were you cycling,down the side of an active volcano?

I crick my neck and left shoulder once a week without failure.Have to remind myself that when i turn over in the night to use my hands as support and not to just flip myself over like a deathrolling salt water croc!Sleeping does get more uncomfortable the bigger you get.I can't sleep on my side anymore because my ENORMOUS pecs get squshed!Try to avoid sleeping on that delt.

i sometimes have a stiff shoulder if i sleep on the same shoulder all night, maybe its due to my extra weight cos never used to have any trouble and i sometimes get pins and needles in my shoulders and arms.

As said just try to aviod sleeping on that delt.

scottswald

probably the same with anyone if they sleep on a bodypart all night, mate.

But i never used to have any trouble, my back doesnt hurt if i sleep on it all night nor my chest.

scottswald

but that is spreading the weight a lot more than a delt

yep, remember the old science lessons, pressure points and surface areas lol

^^^what like a woman putting as much weight through the heel of a stelleto as an elephant does it foot


i was being pedantic, as your chest or back is one bodypart but this is fine to sleep on.

i was simply saying i suffer now and didnt before maybe its related to extra weight, maybe it not, was just trying to help CrisR

If it's hurting or agravating or even being annoying - avoid it!

I have lower back injury (cue everyone: "here he goes again...") and it took me ages to change from sleeping on my front (which is really bad for you back) to sleeping on my back for a while, then on my side. And I've noticed a difference.

I can't say for definite that this will be a problem for your injury but what you're doing shouldn't be uncomfortable for most people.

You have to think about how much time you spend in bed - a long time in bad positions is not good for any injury. Sounds like your body is trying to tell you something.

if you use gear, do you jab in your delt?
