Tip For Sleeping on a Bum Shoulder

For patients having a difficult time finding a comfortable sleeping position and afraid of lying on the problem shoulder, here is something worth trying. Using two pillows, one for under the head/neck and the other (softer/less firm) under the side. The pillows should be positioned so that there is a troph (or valley) for the shoulder to rest in (about 4-5 in). This will un-weight the problem shoulder and give you another option for sleeping comfortably.
