Does anyone have advice on how to find a comfortable (manageable) sleeping position. Nights are just the worst for me. I have ATOS on the right side with a lot of pain in my shoulder down to my fingers. However at night it is worse because I go from pain to that numb, lack of blood feeling in the wrist and hand and I can't take the misery.

I have tried sleeping on my left side to keep the right side open but my arm and hand go to sleep very quickly. I try sleeping on my back and sometimes it is okay for a while, but most times I will get that numb hand feeling. However, the odd thing is, if I lay on the floor to stretch, with one leg on a chair and the other straight, a rolled towel under the arch of my back and another under my neck, and then lay with my arms at my sides like JoMar suggested is the corpse pose, I don't feel my arm go to sleep or get numb most times. But I can not make it in this position for more than 30 minutes as my back hurts due to the hard floor and the towel roll under the back.

I have tried to duplicate this back position in bed but my hand and wrist will go to sleep/numb quickly.

I think I have compression issues because I can not wear any type of bra strap or cami strap on the right side. I can't seem to tolerate pulling my shoulder blades back much either because that too will cut off circulation.

I had an EMG and nerve conduction study last week and the doctor said the nerves all appear fine. A doppler on the right side shows compression in certain arm positions, but I don't know where the compression is on my body. A MRI and x-rays ruled out an extra rib. This all started after I was rear-ended hard. I was knocked unconsious for about five minutes and when I came too I was one sore person. It has gone down hill from there.

I appreciate any suggestions as I am so tired out.
