Question: Broken my leg, Cant sleep!?
Hi i broke my leg and im still in a cast!.

Answers:
i was the same way when i broke my wrists!.
when you sleep your body repairs itself!. thus when you go to lay down and relax for the night, your body begins to heal!.
so when youre laying there, you probably experince pain or atleast discomfort from your leg just because of the healing process!.
i went through the same thing!. i took asprin and or sleeping pills before bed!. id also ice it before bed and prop it up while i slept so id be more comfortable!.
really, nothings wrong!. you just have to find ways to escape the discomfort and pain to relax and drift off to sleep!.
hope i helped!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Its probably because your worried about hurting it in your sleep!. When you are sleeping your body is aware that your leg is broken, making it more uncomfortable for you!. You're probably too worried to actually relax and sleep the way you normally would if it wasn't broken, just try to relax it and sleep as you normally would, hope this helps!Www@Answer-Health@Com

your not comfortable and can't move around like you would normally do in your sleep- speak to your doctor and he may be able to prescribe something for any pain, or to help you sleep!.
try sleeping with pillows supporting your leg!. I feel for you I really do- I've had knee recontructive surgery in the past and I remember that like it was yesterday- painful and sown right irritating- hope you mend well and soonWww@Answer-Health@Com

Try Reiki!. It's a Buddhist form of energy healing and it really helps!. If you can't sleep because you're in pain, you really should ask your doctor for painkillers or insist on another examination to make sure everything's fine and that there's no infection!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

If you're taking some medication to deal with the pain, or are in pain, that could be disrupting your sleep!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Maybe you should break a few more, that way you'll get more than enough sleep!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
