I've slept maybe three hours in the last 48+Hours, last night it felt like my rear deltoids were completely seizing up. All I was doing, was watching TV on my back. it felt like the more I moved them the tighter they got,but the more I sat still the more they would ache and the pain would grow. Really hard to explain. Background: For the last little while I've been sleeping on my side, probably spending too much time on my shoulders, as I'am unable to change my own position. Anyways each night it started to get more and more painful laying on my side and I started to be able to lay on my shoulder less and less. But because of my extremely violent spasms; I can't just stay on my back, asmy legs just fly around all night ragdolling me. So I have these very expensive leg braces that actually flex with the spasmsto keep my legs down and me in a reasonable position somewhat. obviously I can't get them on or off myself, so they stay on too long during the night and cause bedsores. Anyways my sores had healed up enoughafter spending many nights on my side positions, so I was finally able to lay on my back last night which is preferred ( not my preferred sleeping position if I had a different choice ) since I can breathe better, and I feel less trapped; I can actually use the TV remote, and it's less painful; more spasms but there never is a soild choice anymore...
So last night at around 3:30 AM out of nowhere it feels like my rhomboids on each side start seizing up as I said. I tried moving, I tried staying still; Nothing would help!l it was getting very painful, and extremely annoying, so I took two Hydros; which gave me some relief. Really it was the only option; my mother (who is my caregiver) wanted, and needed sleep! So I had to make it through the night. This morning I tried my side position again, but I couldn't even make it half an hour before it started becoming painful! My shoulder feels like it's not in the joint properly and I'm laying on it pulling The joint unnaturally; which is a common problem for me if I spend too much time on my shoulder (all of this including the seizing has always been, and is much worse in my right shoulder; that entire arm has less function. the shoulder jumps out of the joint easily even with light stretching or rotations! It's like it's barely even held in place; doesn't move the same, not nearly as much R.O.M; can't even pronate the forearms which actually causes a lot of pain in itself, and a lot of functional problems) . So I got what I needed to get done on my side; now I'm in my chair, and both my shoulder blades, particularly rhomboids and scapula area's feel completely seized and tighter than hell, very painful. My mother says she can see the muscles bulging. Luckily I'm going to physiotherapy at 2 PM, but has anyone else dealt with something like this? I've always had painful and tight shoulders but this is next level!!!
