Yes I also have similar pain. It is an effort to turnover in bed for the pain. I just live with it as part of my overall problems!!

I also had this problem, The shoulder and upper arm was very painfull and stiff. My Doctor gave me a steroid injection in the shoulder area, after a couple of weeks the shoulder and arm was more flexible and the pain is now only now and again. I can now do things with limitations. My sleeping pattern is much better without the intense pain on movement. Hope you can get such help with your problem. Best wishes.

I have Raynaud's, Scleroderma, Sjogren's & fibro as well as pulmonary hypertension. I have the same pain which interrupts my sleep. I find that the heating pad helps the most. My Rheumy also has me on Paquenil & Savella. Aspercreme helps as well.

I have this problem also, in addition to pain in legs and knees in particular. My Rheumatologist is sending me for x-ray on next visit, he suspects it's rheumatism/arthritis and he's prescribed pain killers.

Of course, it's just a question of putting up with it. However it's nice to know what is actually going on. Take care.
