Any tips on sleeping with a broken collarbone?
Hey all! I crashed last weekend and broke my collarbone in two places. Doc said that the pieces are aligned enough to let the bone heal naturally, though he said that we'll re-evaluate in a week. I am in a arm sling and figure 8. I'm mostly okay throughout the day, with little to no pain, but my problem is at night. I've been sleeping with the sling in a semi-reclined position in bed, propped up by 4 pillows. I get comfortable, shoulder feels supported, then fall asleep but I always awake up in a lot of arm pain at 3:00am. Then I have to sit up and massage my biceps and elbow area. Consequently the collarbone moves a bit and then I'm like a dog shifting my body around to get comfortable again. It really sucks, and I feel exhausted getting 3-5hrs of sleep. Any tips on what to do? 🙏🏼
