Pain in ankle... and prom in four days
Ok so yesterday morning, I drove to school and as I got out, I noticed that my ankle was hurting.
Now, sometimes it hurts like hell, sometimes it doesn't. Mostly, it's the back of my ankle, if I step on my tip toes it hurts. Sometimes it hurts when I'm walking normally, sometimes it's fine.
Now, my prom is on Sunday and my heels are 5 INCHES, I bought them for $400 in a specialty store when I was in Germany.
I have to move around because I have to go to the mall and buy stuff for grad, get my hair done, manicure/pedicure, buy a purse, et cetera so I can't rest because I only have 4 days.
I missed school today to rest my ankle, but what the hell else am I supposed to do? I can't drive myself to the hospital and my cousin was there on Sunday and the wait was 5 hours to actually get inside (and her problem was pretty serious).
What do I do? I'm going to a have a panic attack. I've been planning my prom for ages!

Buy a magnetic ankle support and some over the counter antinflammatory medication. Since I don't know your medical history you should ask the pharmacist which one will work best for you. Keep the ankle support on until the day of prom, and take the medication as often as the label says. If you are unable to wear your high heels by that time, buy a pair of flats or even satin slippers to wear at the dance. I know it's dissapointing, but it's better to go and have fun than to be in pain and have a terrible time because of it.

oh man! well i'm not sure about your prom but most dances around here, people wear the shoes for 5 minutes then take them off. just calm down, take pain relief and ice it often. it all depends on if your dress is short or full length. if it's short, wear them as long as you can then dance without them. if it's long, i think you should ditch the shoes. (i know it's not the best idea since they're special) i would personally go with flats or something you can walk it. it would suck to be in pain all night so plan accordingly. if it's a long walk, throw flip flops in your purse to walk out in. (you might need a big one. well sorry this is going on...i hope everything works out for you! <3
