Back in 1999 while in the navy i injured my ankle, how i don't know. but now it still hurts and is worsening. and it pops. i am 37 and female.

See orthopedist: If your ankle pain is worsening after 17 yrs, you need to have it looked at. (x-rays, physical exam) If you are still in the Navy, then I would go through your Tricare insurance. If not, then see your civilian doctor, but do not continue to delay having it treated! If unable to see an orthopedic doc, a good podiatrist could also be of help in this situation.
