    This is going to sound unbelievable, but aside from buying the pillow, this happens to me with both shoulders involuntarily. I’ve had to uncomfortably sleep in a chair for too long, else risking a dislocated shoulder.

        It is possible, but not diagnosed. I’ve always had “loose joints”. Like I can just kind of twist my legs and dislocate my knees without pain.

          Its not easy to get diagnosed but you might want to look it up. My daughter discovered she has it and its been a journey to try and find treatment. But it read like a laundry list of all of these issues she had struggled with her whole life: hyper flexibility, migraines, stomach problems, difficulty gaining weight, etc., it does come with certain heart risks so its not just a live with it in discomfort sort of thing. Its worthwhile to look it up and advocate for yourself if you think you or someone else might.

      My face is midway between 😱 and ಠ⁠_⁠ಠ right now. That sounds difficult. Have you found anything that helps? Do you just sleep like crap every night?

        I kinda learned to sleep on my back, but I hate it. Physical therapy has helped, but I always wind up forgetting to do the exercises at some point. And yeah, I mostly just sleep horribly.
