Shooting pain because I did not stretch?

So I'm really really worried I just went into my middle splits without stretching or warming up and j was fine until now I get this terrible shooting shocking pain like it fells like its stabbing me whenever I turn my right foot out.Im freaking out because in a month I'm starting pointe but I'm scared that this pain could ruin my dancing please help.Im guessing this may have happend to another dancer.What do you do to make the pain go away.Please help Thanks

Update:

The proble is whenever my foot or leg turns out that where the pain just shocks it only feels good when I sucks my foot and I really don't want to get into that habit after working really hard to get such great pointe and a huge improvement on my turnout I think it's a bad idea to have my foot sickling edpicallyvright before I go on pointe!!!

    You must of pulled something. Take a steam bath and if possible, stay in the tub in hot water(obviously not hot enough to scold yourself) if you have Vicks, apply that to where it hurts and then wear long pants to ensure the heat will be trapped. If the pain doesn't simmer after at least a week, book a docs appt. Don't expect it to heal overnight ok, give it a few days.

    Good luck hun!
