How Is Pain Caused In The Arm Around The Shoulder Relieved?
I am having pain in my upper arm, around the joint area, but not the joint itself. when I lay on that shoulder at night, when I am in a certain position it feels like something moves and it causes a bit of pain. It is affecting my sleep. it is also causing some aching in my hand on the same side.

hi I understand your situation
shoulder pain has many causes which is usually aggravated by lying on it
there are many pathologies around shoulder which cause this symptoms like :tendinitis, rotator cuff pathology and tear, impingement syndrome and arthritis
my advice don't do heavy work and over head activity, rest for at least 2 weeks, non steroidal anti inflammatory drugs for 2 weeks and physiotherapy.
if you are not improved you should see a specialist.
