Hi,
What you can do is try to sleep on your back. Shoulder pain of varying intensity is common when you sleep on the shoulder at night. Are you overweight? That could also aggravate the situation. Also you could try local diclofenac gel and exercises along with warm compressus to make the pain go away. If the symptoms still persist consult your physician/ orthopedician/  physiotherapist. Goodluck.

Hello.

Your shoulder pain may be due to a nerve impingement. Please consult an orthopedic surgeon.
