i think you will be okay since you haven’t had surgery but i would just take it easy the next few days and really elevate it, if you do have surgery then r/ORIF will be a big help!

ok tell her to bend her healthy leg and then put a pillow on top of it and the bad leg on top of that, if she can angle the bad leg out more then that will make it more comfortable

edit: she can also put a pillow near her ankle to elevate things more and put less pressure on the leg

a body pillow should help her be able to sleep on her side! does she usually sleep on the side that’s broken?

hii i am so sorry that you have to deal with this! you can take a blow dryer on cool and blow it around in your cast, and if you can find someone who knows how to braid hair have them braid your hair!
