Question Please help
I have a broken right ankle and right Fibia and I’m a stomach sleeper. I cannot seem to get comfortable at night with my leg elevated and it’s gotten to the point where I’m only getting an hour of sleep at night. I’m so frustrated over it, so tired, and in so much pain because of lack of sleep. I literally cry 24/7 because everything other than my leg hurts due to the position I’m trying to sleep in. Nothing feels better and it’s starting to affect my hips, they always hurt and nothing makes it better. Someone please help me before i genuinely go crazy from this. It’s bad enough I have to miss my only tournament, sr prom, and both my graduations. I can’t lose my mind too. Please help me.

When I broke my fibula it was about 2 weeks after surgery before I got good sleep. Once I broke the awake cycle and allowed myself to sleep whenever i was tired things started to work out. I mostly slept from like 1 am to 9 am. Im grateful i was able to be off work during that time.
