I broke my foot about 2 months ago & the doctor ordered me to stay in bed. Now my foot is much better but I am sleeping to the point where I literally can't function. What the heck is wrong with me. Do I need to take a trip or what. Please help.

you have to force your self into a routine, of getting up and staying up finding your self something to do during the day to keep active..you have to train your self. your body will get use to the time change you put it through..you just have to keep active...Been there done that got through it and you will to... just keep busy....

Well unfortunately if you broke it, you can't set a toe, so you just have to wait for it to heal. I would take 800mg of Advil or some Tylenol.  Elevating your foot as much as possible sure would help too, since the blood flow will only make the pain worse.  Sorry you did that! Nothing hurts much worse that doing that to your toe! OUCH!

It could be due to your lifestyle.. i used to have the same problem. I went to the doctors and he just suggested exercise daily, eat healthier and try and cut out refined sugars. I got real good sleeps and woke up feeling awesome :)

Foot Dr is sending u to another physician?  Look is the leg swollen or the ankle?  \n\nIf u sprain ur ankle it's going to take a while for it to heal.  I'm surprised they didn't put u in an air splint cast... it's an easy on/off support to wear while walking.  U can even wear normal shoes... Soaking in  warm,Epsom salt can't hurt nightly either.  But your going to have to prop the leg and rest it.   If the swelling is your leg... u need to definitely see the orthopedist.  U should see them if your ankle doesn't get better.  U might have a hairline fracture or worse.  Take it easy, rest the ankle and if it doesn't get better in few weeks go back to the foot doctor or orthopedist.

I'm not a diabetic, but i know about ankle pain. 2 yrs ago I ws in acar accident and broke my heel and taylor joint (that's under the ankle joint). Also the ligaments, tendons , nerves, and blood vessels were damaged. My toenails didn't grow for 8 months! On the upside of that my pedicure really lasted! Ha! The swelling was horrendous! From my knee down to my toes was the same size. I was in a cast for 6 weeks and wore an equalizer boot to my knee for a year. The swelling went down about 6 months after I got out of the boot. I still have lots of pain and suffering, and my doctor and i are contemplating joint fusion. The sound of that is scary to me, like will I be left with a limp for life. (I already limp but I keep hoping it will gradually go away). You're not alone and now I know I'm not either!

Could be plantar fascitis....... see a doctor to confirm.  In the mean time get better shoes, use an arch support. look it up on the internet and get stretches for the foot. Ice it at night for 10 min prior to bed.

When I was younger my legs hurt really bad and I hated any noise when I was in bed. You might have pressure on your lower spine and you need to see a physiotherapist like a friend of mine or like me you should see a doctor to discuss depression.Once I started to take meds my legs never bothered me since unless if I've been off of them for a while and I'm tired then that's when they hurt real bad.\nTry ear plugs and one of those night visors(that go over your eyes) or what ever it's called to keep some of the lights out .You never mentioned about energy levels during the day if you always seem tired then you might have serious problems.What it is that you may be laking in your serotonin levels that controls every thing from sleep to motivation to even happiness.\nWater intake or eating properly is not the problem what your doing is what any person who knows something is wrong but can't put there  finger on it  is doing and that is why AM I like this and how do I snap out of this.\nPhantom pain and sleep is two of the sure signs your suffering and I know how much you are suffering.So don't be embarrassed about going to a doctor and talking about this I was embarrassed but relieved when he explained every thing to me and gave me a script of Prozac. I really hope i'm wrong but if I'm right then your going to have a long road of recovery ahead of you but maybe your like my friend that I mentioned and it's only your spine causing pressure on a nerve cuasing you to have sore legs.

No, this sounds like an additional injury that was not previously noticed or is something new. They could be connected only by the means of that by working on your feet that particular foot/ankle is compensating for the other one now due to a shift caused by the previous injury. Get it looked at im sure it is fixable more easily that you think. physical therapy im sure will work wonders. Similar thing happened to me.

Have you seen a doctor or had x-rays yet?\nAs opposed to just staying home hurting and doing nothing...\n\nI had back surgery 3 years ago and did not get well even after they straightened my spine and moved the crushed nerve...\nThe problem was the damage was already done, so no amount of surgery would fix it...\nI am now disabled for life and I still don't know what caused it...\nPeople ask me if I was in a car accident or took a bad fall and I say no...\nMy doctor says it was because of calcium deposits on my bones and the bone spur growth caught and crushed the nerve...\nSo I would recommend seeing several doctors and getting several x-rays before surgery...\nAlso see a Pain Management Doctor, he will prescribe the right meds for your pain and you could avoid surgery...

You could try taping it to another toe so as to not move it so much, the less movement the less pain, I have broken that toe too, now its not straight anymore, and I am glad its healed cos it doesnt half hurt, it takes about three months before you can walk on it all day with out pain. Sorry for you girlfriend.

Wasn't running but was hiking and felt a weird twinge in my leg, I thought that I should stop and rest and massage or stretch but the I thought "No, this isn't a good spot and I've only got 2 more miles to go." Hurt to walk or stand for next 3 days.\n\nFeel free to laugh.

I say you should go to a doctor and i agree with that guy that you should take an x-ray of your foot;and sister....I know how much it must be paining coz these sort of incidents were also experienced by me.Once a whole tire came on my foot and my whole right thigh was bleeding but it wasn`t a fracture coz my father pushed me due to which his hand got fractured and once i got ingured by the sharp edge of a sofa and guess what,not only my skin got peeled of but a piece of wood from the sofa broke as well it was 5 years ago but the skin did not grow there and the mark is still there.Hope you don`t get injured like me(sob).sorry for such a long answer!

It's probably broken, or at least really sprained. My sister did the same thing. Best thing you can do is go to the doctor. If left uncared for too long, it can get worse. They'll know what to do. Broken fingers and toes are actually a pretty easy fix. Good luck! And be more careful :-)

Could be restless leg syndrome. I would ask a doctor.

Your back could be out of alignment, it could possibly be sciatica from sleeping in a weird position or on a bad mattress. Do you have pain or weakness any other time? I think you should ask a doc cuz unilateral weakness can be a warning sign for something bad.

This sounds silly, but are your feet cold?  I've heard that cold feet can contribute to insomnia.  Try keeping your feet warmer by wearing socks or keeping your blankets wrapped around them.

Keep your legs in the air at night.  Exercise your legs, like imaginary bicycle while lying in bed.  Keep salt to an absolute minimum and stay super active.  You will get better!
