I've helped many people with upper back issues. The key for T4 syndrome is to avoid sleeping on your stomach as it twists the upper spine. Try using a thin pillow and hugging a body pillow to keep your shoulders aligned.
T4 syndrome is so annoying, yaar. Actually, sleeping on my back with a very flat pillow for my head and a rolled towel under my neck helps a lot. It keeps the spine straight so the nerve doesn't get pinched.
Bro, don't stress too much about it. Just avoid sleeping on your side if it pinches your shoulder blades. Put a hot gel pack on your upper back for 10 minutes before bed and you'll sleep like a baby.
I have spent the last three nights tossing and turning because of this upper back stiffness. Honestly, I'm just sleeping sitting up on the sofa now with lots of cushions. It's the only way my arms don't go numb!
Try doing some very light upper back stretches before bed to loosen up! Sleeping on your back with a supportive pillow works best. Have a peaceful sleep tonight!
Don't stress, we can manage this. Try to lie flat on your back and place a small pillow under your knees. This relaxes your entire spine. If the numbness in your hands increases, make sure to tell your physiotherapist.

I got so scared when my upper back and hands started tingling, I thought it was a heart issue! Once the doctor diagnosed T4 syndrome, I felt better. I find that using a firm orthopedic mattress helps prevent those midnight panic attacks.
My doctor just mentioned T4 syndrome to me yesterday. I am thoda confused about how to position my neck while sleeping. Should I use a cervical pillow or no pillow at all? Any tips would really help.
