Pop, crackle & pop.: Your description of events sound pretty convincing to me that a severe sprain has occurred. Consideration of a possible ankle fracture is also appropriate. Of course, these conditions can only be verified by having your ankle x-rayed and examined by a specialist. Meanwhile, it is best to RICE the area. Rest, Ice application,Compression applied and Elevation.

100%: NEED TO MAKE SURE YOU DIDNT BREAK ANYTHING EITHER. SOMETIMES YOU GET CHIP FRACTURES OR BREAKS IN BONES.

OR BROKEN: It's sounds bad enough that an x-ray is warranted. Sincerely, Dr. Latva
