Brief Answer:
Recommend orthopedic evaluation....
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Based on your description, you seem to be suffering with regular shoulder pain from one year. Sleeping in a bad posture is unlikely to cause pain for an year. Therefore unless you had a preexisting shoulder (structural) problem which got aggravated from bad posture, I don't think bad posture is the cause of your pain.
That being said, without clinical examination, it is difficult to predict the cause. I will recommend you visit an orthopedic surgeon. Careful clinical examination of the shoulder along with X-ray / scan will be required to understand the precise reason for pain.
In the interim, you may use topical pain relieving measures such as warm compresses and occasional antiinflammatory medications like aceclofenac whenever pain is severe.
Hope this helps. Let me know if you need clarifications.
Regards
