I'm surprised that this is a genuine answer, I was expecting something else with a product name like that.

That 'e' instead of you 'u' makes a huge difference huh?

Last time there was a discussion about arm pillows I bought one of them. https://medcline.com/products/shoulder-relief-pillow

I don't use it as they depict but I do use some of the pillows.

This is going to sound unbelievable, but aside from buying the pillow, this happens to me with both shoulders involuntarily. I've had to uncomfortably sleep in a chair for too long, else risking a dislocated shoulder.

Do you have Ehlers-Danlos syndrome?

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It is possible, but not diagnosed. I've always had "loose joints". Like I can just kind of twist my legs and dislocate my knees without pain.

Its not easy to get diagnosed but you might want to look it up. My daughter discovered she has it and its been a journey to try and find treatment. But it read like a laundry list of all of these issues she had struggled with her whole life: hyper flexibility, migraines, stomach problems, difficulty gaining weight, etc., it does come with certain heart risks so its not just a live with it in discomfort sort of thing. Its worthwhile to look it up and advocate for yourself if you think you or someone else might.

My face is midway between 😱 and ಠ⁠_⁠ಠ right now. That sounds difficult. Have you found anything that helps? Do you just sleep like crap every night?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago

I kinda learned to sleep on my back, but I hate it. Physical therapy has helped, but I always wind up forgetting to do the exercises at some point. And yeah, I mostly just sleep horribly.

[–] [email protected] 32 points 1 month ago

That sounds like Ehlers Danlos syndrome

[–] [email protected] 31 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Uh I do the same thing and my shoulders have different range of motion because of it. I thought it was just a fact of life

Do you have Ehlers-Danlos syndrome?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

My wife has EDS and that comment sounds very familiar. [email protected] you should look into Ehlers Danlos syndrome

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)
[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

I look it up and I definitely don't have that.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 month ago

You know how some people complain they go to the doctor because it hurts when they do something and the doctor's advice is "Don't Fucking Do That Then?"
