Any recommendations? I have GERD and generally sleep on my back, which helps but isn't perfect.

You can try raising the head part of the bed by 5 - 6 or so inches using wood blocks. The doctor recommended it to me.

It's not perfect, but has really helped me!

Same here, it helped a lot. Also don't eat a big meal and go straight to bed. Aim for an earlier dinner.

The issue with those inclined pillows with the arm hole in them is that they can be a really hard angle for a side sleeper to be at. It makes my back and hips hurt way worse than my shoulder.

Cervical radiculopathy can cause shoulder pain. I have experienced this quite a bit and it's probably also because of my sleeping style. I wouldn't get an MRI unless I was planning to have surgery.

> was costly but kinda worth it

This doesn't inspire confidence, but I guess any improvement that mitigates pain is nice.
