You must have a plaster cast on the leg. Then you can sleep in any comfortable posture.

1. It is okay to experience pain after fracture. If it is severe do not hesitate to take painkillers. The pain will subside gradually 2. It is better to avoid putting pressure on the fractured side as it can aggravate your pain
Next Steps
Limb elevation and physiotherapy once out of cast
