Restless leg post op

So I underwent Weil's osteotomy on my right foot 5 days ago and now I have been having a lot of trouble sleeping. It's like whenever I fall asleep there is a major muscle pull or twitch that wakes me up with a horrible anxious feeling that a restriction has been violated. I'm hardly sleeping at night now, it's only during daytime when I fall asleep out of nowhere, that I'm getting some sleep. Also the operated foot is a clubfoot with no sensation due to a tumor i had in my spine when I was one. So for the clubfoot I already had 2 surgeries before, the latest one was in Jan this year(5 months ago). So the feeling that this surgery will somehow mess up my previous surgeries and the clubfoot is really strong and horrible.

Any advice on how to cope up with this
