Answers:
I know exactly how you feel.I was in my school's production of Beauty And The Beast,and I sprained my ankle a week before the show.For now,rest as much as you possibly can,wear a brace to protect it,and hope that it gets better.If you absolutely have to dance,it's a really bad idea (believe me,I made my sprain worse,and am now getting ankle surgery in a week,but that's because I pushed my ankle over the top,it was already really bad),but I understand if you choose to.Just protect your ankle as much as possible by taping it since tape fits underneath tights nicely,and doesn't restrict your ankle movement too much.Tylenol and Advil help with the pain,but honestly,during the actual performances you won't need it because of the adrenaline,it's afterwards that you'll feel the pain.
