Physical wreck

When I'm experiencing problems now I wake up in the night with my fingers or hands numb. It is not the kind of sleep numbness like you've cut off the blood supply because if I move, it almost immediately goes away and there's no tingling. This only bothers me in bed, during the day I might occasionally feel a sensation in my hands, but it's not the same nor as bad.
I probably need a new pillow. I rotate between 2 and I fluff them up in the dryer, but the last time I bought one, from the same company I've gotten it for years, it was made differently and really horrible, so I'm hesitant to buy another from them, although the picture looks exactly the same as the ones I'd been getting.
The problem I'm having now started with a stiff muscle in the right side of my neck. Now I can't sleep on my left side fully without that muscle hurting and feeling like it's going to shoot my head off my shoulders! There's a massage place at our mall I've thought about using but it's expensive - $40 for 20 minutes. Maybe it's cheaper if they focus on one area and not the whole back. I try to do some yoga at home and that helps, but I'm not very good at maintaining a schedule of that, so this morning, for example, I didn't have a good night and it's bothering me again. Yesterday I felt sleepy all day, so I'm wondering if the neck problem is preventing me from deep sleeping.
I'm probably going to need to go back to the dentist. I'm having cold sensitivity now in one of my teeth which at my last exam the dentist said needed a filling. The office I go to has gone through some changes since then. The dentist I'd been seeing left, the previous dentist who was also owner returned. One of my employees started going there and the owner dentist did a filling which caused my employee all kinds of problems. They pissed him off so badly between messing up his insurance and the bad filling he doesn't want to return. The new dentist is a younger guy and probably would do a good job, but they were so backed up with appointments because the owner dentist messed up so many patients the new dentist did nothing but fix those problems the first months he was there.
Juts whining this morning. I need to get off here and do some yoga!
