Getting rid of shoulder pain is possible through restoring biomechanics by adjustments stretching exercises
I would start by icing it. 20 minutes on and 40 minutes ice goes back in the freezer and then repeat. Never put the ice pack on your skin. Always use a kitchen towel or some barrier between the ice pack and your skin. If it's not improving, go to your doctor.

Thanks for the question.
If it is simply caused from “sleeping wrong,” then it is muscular and should disappear quickly. It may be a chronic problem that is triggered from your sleeping position.
Hope this helps.

Spinal and extremity adjustments are often helpful to relieve shoulder pain. A history and chiropractic examination needs to be done first to determine what is causing the pain.

You may find relief by stretching the chest muscles and neck muscles. I recommend going to a Sports Chiropractor if that does not resolve your pain.
