How to Sleep with Calcific Tendonitis: Tips for Relief

Hey buddy! So, you know how sometimes your body just decides to start acting like the grumpy old man who yells at kids to get off his lawn? Yeah, that’s calcific tendonitis. Basically, it’s like your tendons decided to throw a party and forgot to invite you. They just filled up with calcium deposits, and now you can’t even lift your arm without feeling like you’ve been in a bar fight with a brick wall.

So, wanna know how to sleep when everything hurts? I gotchu! Here are some hilariously simple steps on how to find some relief. Let’s do this!

Step 1: Find Your Birth Position

Okay, so first things first. You gotta find that super comfy position where you kinda look like a weird pretzel but also feel like a marshmallow. Think of it as finding your ideal sleeping pose. Maybe try lying on your back or side but make sure you’re not laying on the bad side. That would be like giving a bear an invitation to eat your face. Bad idea.

Step 2: Use Pillows Like You’re Building a Fort

You remember how when we were kids and built those epic pillow forts? Time to channel that energy again. Stack pillows all around yourself so they create this soft little fortress. You could even tuck one under your arm that’s sore—like a fluffy bodyguard against all that pain. Your joint will thank you… maybe!

Step 3: Cold Treats Aren’t Just for Summer

Okay, seriously though. Ice cubes are magic! Grab some ice wrapped in a towel and slap it on that achy shoulder while you’re watching Netflix in bed (hello binge-watching lifesaver). Who needs fancy creams when you have ice? It’ll numb the pain and give you an excuse to stay under the covers longer.

Step 4: Become One With Your Heating Pad

And speaking of magic… heating pads are basically clouds of cozy bliss for achy joints! Heat it up and lay it on that sad shoulder while dreaming about being on a beach somewhere far away from pain land. Warmth is way more soothing than me trying to explain why pineapple on pizza is controversial.

Step 5: Stretch Like A Cat

Picture this—you’re lying there and suddenly think “I’m gonna stretch!” But wait—don’t do anything crazy or end up looking like an awkward flamingo trying yoga. Just do gentle stretches before bed, moving slowly like someone who has just woken from hibernation (which was me last winter). Stretching helps keep things loosey-goosey so you can sleep without feeling like tin man.

Step 6: Nap Like A Pro

Hear me out here—naps = life! Just take short sneaky naps throughout the day while propping up your arm somehow. You’ll wake dodging guilt because you’re doing life wrong or something but hey if it helps then… who cares? Plus, naps help heal worse than any medicine ever could… probably!

Step 7: Talk To Your Pillow

Now last but not least—when nothing works and life’s unfair, talk it out with your pillow! Seriously tho, no one judges what you say in there—you could totally rant about how unfair life is or just whisper sweet nothings hoping maybe the pillow will give advice back… Hey maybe it’s got hidden wisdom?!
