The twitching drove me crazy after my (recent) ankle surgery; I knew that my recovery depended in large part upon keeping the joint immobilized at 90 degrees, so every time it spasmed in my sleep, I woke up in panic that I'd just undone some of the surgeon's work.

You'll probably continue to have a degree of twitchiness; it seems to be a consequence of limited mobility. But it'll stop hurting, and you'll get enough accustomed to it that you won't get woken by an adrenaline rush. So things will improve -- but yeah, in the meantime, the Oxycodone hangover is probably a fair price for a good night's sleep.
