Many years ago, when platform shoes were in vogue, I slipped on a step and broke my ankle. I heard the bone pop and that was a really scary sound. I threw those shoes away. Hope you recover quickly. It is said that ankle sprains are more painful than broken ankles. I have had both and they seemed to be equally painful.
