Soothe a Shoulder: Avoid sleeping on the affected shoulder as this can stress the tendons, joint capsule and muscle tissue. Any of these could be inflammed due to your activity or scarring from past surgery. Use of a tennis ball vest can help prevent you from rolling over to that side during the night while sleeping. Various medications may help, as well as P.T. but speaking to your surgeon is a good idea.
