Shoulder pain agonising at night

[Barney16]

I have had right shoulder pain for about three months and I'm really starting to wilt from the inability to get a decent night's sleep. During the day it's manageable if limiting but nighttime it's absolutely awful. I go to sleep but wake up after about two hours and I can't seem to find a comfy position. I'm reduced to sitting almost upright on the sofa balancing a hot water bottle on it and swearing. I have a GP appointment and I'm going to ask for painkillers because at night ibuprofen isn't helping but does anyone have any tips for sleeping? I'm used to side sleeping on the same side as my knackered shoulder so that's not helping but I would do literally anything to just get some uninterrupted sleep.

I used a V pillow which helped me if positioned correctly

I’ve been referred for this but via NHS. I was told that because it had been over a year of being like this, I was eligible for the procedure but I don’t know how long the wait will be to get it. The first step was an xray which ruled out arthritis. The second step was an MRI scan which I guess will confirm what’s actually going in there

Did you get help and a diagnosis @Barney16 ?
