I don't know if it'll work, but here is what i did. Take a pillow and fold it in half (long ways) and wrap an ace wrap around it and the cast...on the underside of the cast. this way if she sleeps on her side it will be elevated and if she sleeps on her back it will be elevated. Take it off in the morning. Hope this helps!

Contact a home health care service their is a brace you can get that will hold the arm up with a rod on the hip that is pretty comfortable.
