Keep jerking my broken foot when falling asleep

Posted , 2 users are following.

I've had a broken foot for just under three weeks now, and have been in a boot for about a fortnight. The past couple of days, I've noticed that when I've been dozing half-asleep or just drifting off, my foot will jerk involuntarily in the boot and the pain wakes me up. Could this be doing any damage to my foot, and how do I stop it happening?

    I don't have an answer for you but I broke my leg a few days ago and it had been doing the same thing. So I feel your pain.
