Ok earlier today I jumped up to grab something hanging from a tree, I landed and bent my ankle and it made a large pop sound. There was a good amount of pain at first then it comes and goes. The pain isn t unbearable but it does hurt to bend it. What kind of injury do I have?
Hi, Thanks for your query. Based upon your description, I suspect that you might have injured the ligaments around the ankle joint. An initial X-ray of the ankle joint is necessary to rule out any bony injury. If X-rays are negative for any fracture, then MRI scan is needed to know the status of the ligaments around the ankle joint. I suggest you to consult an orthopedic surgeon for a detailed evaluation and further management. I do hope that you have found something helpful, and I will be glad to answer any further query. Take care
