Country singer Carrie Underwood took a spill lately during a concert while wearing 5 inch heels. The superstar was on stage in Corpus Christi, Texas when she got her shoe wedged in her large shirt and fell to the floor.
The injury does not look like it will require serious matters and it does not appear that an operation will be needed. After her show, Underwood joked about the fall tweeting, “Hey, remember that time in Corpus Christi when that girl busted her butt on stage?! Hilarious! Oh wait, that was me! #5inchheels #klutz.”

Dr. Hyman can provide you with more information on alternative footwear as well as further details on foot and ankle pain you may be experiencing from heels.
