Twisted Ankle - help!

cdaniele63 · August 2010

Hi all! Long story short, I twisted my left ankle 3 times last month, am in physical therapy and have less than 3 weeks to my wedding. My ankle still hurts like the dickens.

I'm thinking I need to plan for the contingency that I'll need to wear an Ace bandage or some kind of wrap on my wedding day. Right now I have to wear one even with tennis shoes, so I don't think this is too far fetched.

What I'm hoping is that someone here may know of a resource for more attractive Ace bandages. If I could find something interesting or pretty, it wouldn't be as bad.

Thanks so much!

You want a pretty ACE bandage? Really?

Maybe you could try using some RIT dye and dyeing it your wedding color(s). That's the only thing I can think of. I don't know how dyeable an ACE bandage is though.

This does suck, but I'm assuming your dress is long, right? No one will see it.

Maybe you can google and find something online that will work.

I second the long dress that hides your feet and ankles.

Just cover the bandage with a leg warmer. I like these:

Google "Coban by 3M" - comes in some colors and you could put it over the ace bandage. (It's the self-adhesive wrap used by athletes rather than tape)
