Hi
My sympathizes to both above posts. I fell skiing at end of december and badly fractured my tibial plateau. After a week of pain. I had plates and pins and am nearly 5 weeks post surgery. Non weight bearing. Have a zimmer for the house and a wheelchair with leg extension to get out. Was coping ok ish but this week has brought an inability to sleep ( never experienced this before). Sick of laykng on my back, can t quite sleep on my side so not sleeping at all. Tried nytol, which has no effect. Almost resigned myself to just not sleeping but its impacting my ability to cope in the day. Now along with the inability to walk, my brain is now fuzzy from lack of sleep and i’m so miserable. Did either of you go through similar and did anything help ?
