What Could Popping Sound In The Ankle Suggest?
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 xray of the ankle joint is necessary to ruleout any bony injury. If xrays 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
