A member asked:

I was at camp doing step ups and when i went down my ankle went inwards and i heard a crack, i got a x-ray and there was no break and i'm still pain?

Sprain vs Fracture: Sometimes the first xray after the initial injury will not show a small/thin(hairline fracture/break). Repeat xray is recommended if your symptoms continue or worsen. Really bad sprains can also cause a cracking/popping sound.

Sprain: Just because there is not any fracture does not mean you did not injure your ankle.
