I lived in a sling for over 6 months, and they originally thought tendonitis so I was also in a brace which made mine worse. Another good thing we use is baclofen not flexeril. Flexeril wasn't working good and left me Ina fog with light headedness. It did however sleep better with it but I slept too much. Warm showers work good as long as you can attach a different adjustable shower head, on bad days a light mist, try working on desensitized get in shower with the adjustments. Always use arm as much as you can without pain, I can now almost 5 years later lift 3lbs on a good day without using rest of body for support! I once held my grand daughter against my body when she was 10lbs.good luck it sucks I know. Msg me anytime. Check the spoon theory it's a good read too.
