A member asked:
Can sleeping on my back help with subacromial bursitis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Avoid side sleeping: Avoidance of side sleeping or stomach sleeping with arms up under the pillow will be less provocative and help lessen the discomfort from subacromial impingement. Back sleeping is an excellent option.
