Occam's razor

pegkerrI have been having increasing pain in my left shoulder for the past couple of months, and I have been wondering how on earth I strained it. It has gotten so bad that I have been reluctant to do my upper body weight-lifting. I have been racking my brains, wondering how and where I injured it, and wondering why it isn't getting any better.
This morning, I was lying in bed and shifted and felt pain again, and then it hit me:
I always sleep on my left side.
Due to a strange change in my body when I became pregnant, I can only sleep on my left. If I lie on my right, I get heartburn within two minutes. If I lie on my back, my hands and feet fall asleep. I have squishy obstacles to sleeping on my stomach.
So, could my shoulder be having trouble because I'm resting my body weight on it every single night? Could it be as simple as that?
