Try to sleep with your palms up if possible.
I've been a stomach sleep all my life which probably contributed to this problem as well as my back problem. I've been trying to sleep on my back (makes my heart feel funny, possible mitral valve prolapse, not dangerous just feels like its regurgitating lol) but a pillow under each arm seems like it should help. Palms up, got it. I bought a memory foam pillow and it's just not comfortable. I should ask my PT if he has some pillow suggestions as well. Feather pillows seem nice.
After your surgery, are you a lot better? Or do you still have a few issues?
