A member asked:

Below knee hair line fracture. can i sleep side ways.? its been two weeks after i met with an accident.

Hairline fracture: you probably can sleep sideways but check with your doc to ensure exact location, configuration and size. you may need to have a protective brace initially which would provide further protection.
