If you feel your shoulder, you will notice there is a "dip" in the mid section. When the arm is extended above the head, the head will rest in this "dip". In this area is a bundle of nerves. If you slept on the shoulder long enough, the nerves will pinch become irritated and pain (ache) and sometimes numbness may occur. Often the neck will seem stiff as well, or the back of the shoulder girdle. Time will heal this irritation. Heat application sometimes help. If it continues, see an orthopedist and see if a cortizone injection into the site is called for.
