Sleeping with a fractured pelvis requires special precautions and support equipment to speed up the healing process and reduce recovery time. Pelvic injuries can be painful and may result in restless sleep and poor sleep quality when lying in bed at night. A lot of people, especially the elderly, find it hard to sleep due to pain. Therefore, the fastest way to heal and start walking after pelvic fracture is to ensure you're getting enough sleep in the middle of the night.

The pelvic girdle is one of the essential parts of the body that carries our body weight at night and ensures that we obtain a suitable sleeping position. Your life can get better after pelvic fractures treatment if you acquire adequate bed rest, sleep properly, and take proper preventive measures.

What Happens If You Have A Fractured Pelvis?

Our pelvis comprises inter-paired bones named pubis, ilium, and ischium bones. These are held together in a place by solid ligaments, surrounding them into a butterfly-like formation that supports our legs and spinal column. Pelvis also takes care of our abdominal organs and reproductive parts.

If you have a pelvic fracture, that means you have multiple fractured bones due to severe trauma. It can also be generated by minor trauma in case you already have weaker bones. The treatment often depends on the type of fracture; however, to ensure high-speed recovery, make sure you get enough sleep.

How to Sleep with a Fractured Pelvis?

Investing in specialized pillows and positioning them well to support your pelvic area is one of the best ways you can quickly recover from a pelvis injury. Try to sleep on your back and make sure not to sleep on the edge of your bed. If you find it hard to fall asleep with pain, here are some tried and tested tips you can use to sleep better after a broken pelvis treatment.

1. Use a specialized pillow for support
