Hello,
The symptoms seem to be related to a pinched nerve in the shoulder during sleep. I suggest using anti inflammatory medications such as Acetaminophen to relieve the pain. I also suggest to maintain the arm immobilized to prevent further damage. If the symptoms continue, you should see a neurologist.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
