Too swollen for my shoes

Ciara, on June 20, 2019 at 10:47 AM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 4

So we now have 8 days before our big day. I am SUPER excited but there is one little problem that has me freaking out. I sprained my ankle about a month before the big day and I tore a ligament in my ankle. It was really swollen and bruised for a few weeks but now that the bruises have cleared up the swelling has still not gone down enough to wear my cowboy boots for the wedding. I don't know if I should give up on the cowboy boots and buy new shoes or if there is something I can do to take the swelling down FAST. I really wanted to match my girls but the more time that passes I am starting to believe that it is going to be impossible. Any tips would be appreciated to take the swelling down (I have been doing ice and wearing an ankle brace) or if anyone has an idea of some new shoes that might look good next to cowboy boots it would be very appreciated!

    Buy compression stocking and be very very adamant on keeping your feet up!!!! Ice packs too. Ibeprofin will help too.

    Hi there Ciara!

    Oh no, I’m sorry to hear this!

    Have you visited your doctor and gotten his/her advice on ways to help take down the swelling?

    Definitely rest it loads, and keep it elevated as much as possible.

    If it comes to it, and the swelling doesn’t come down enough to wear your cowboy boots, do you think sandals may be the best option to wear?
