Could The Popped Ankle Be Broken As It Is Cause Too Much Of Pain?
I slipped on my icy porch this morning and my left ankle bent and I heard a either a snap crack or pop.. Actually more like a pop... When i put weight onto my left foot it hurts and feels like pins n needles I cn still wriggle my toes.. Could it be broken??
From the nature of injury you described you seem to have ligament injury but yes of course you can have a fracture even if you are able to wriggle your toes. You should get an xray done of your ankle and see your orthopaedician at the earliest. Meanwhile you can apply ice packs and take antiinflammatory medicine like ibuprofen to reduce your pain
