What Causes Pain In The Neck And Shoulders Upon Waking Up?
Hi, When I get up in the morning I experience a nagging pain in my neck as well as shoulders on the left hand side. I believe this is due to the mattress. Can you please advise the factors that need to be considered while purchasing a mattress. Also I sleep on a memory foam pillow. Is that OK.

Hi welcome to health care magic...
You are having muscle stiffness from bad sleep posture
As such mattress can't lead stiffness always, you might have associated bad sleep posture also
You can use spring plus memory foam mattress if searching for good matress
While sleeping head not much elevated and supine position will be better..
Hot compress useful if stiffness more
Take care
Hope this will help
