I seem to be fine today. It only feel a little bit of soreness if I have to look waaayy over my shoulder. It's funny how sleeping in a weird position can cause that much of a problem.
Glad to hear it. When this happens to me it tends to linger painfully for a couple weeks. I also have no idea how it gets triggered. All I know is I wake up in pain. Hope yours is completely gone soon.

Thanks, y'all. I blame the cat. She was hogging the bed and I was trying to sleep around her. It's my own fault for giving her all those table scraps.
