A few yrs ago i sprained my ankle. lately it feels like something is out of place(slight swelling), no pain,but very annoying. should i be concerned?

Not necessarily : If your not having pain or any problems with function, I would not be concerned; but if you are don't hesitate to be seen. Sometimes injuries to the ankle can include tears to ligamentous structures that never fully heal. This may lead to some degree of chronic instability or subluxation. Again, if it is painful or causes functional problems don't hesitate to be seen.
