Is it possible to jam your ankle?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Hello, It is quite possible for you to "jam" your ankle just as you would "jam" other joints. Its important after recovery from the pain and swelling to be evaluated for cartilage damage ( i.e. OCD lesion) and ligamentous injury (i.e. high ankle sprain, syndesmosis injury). Please consult a podiatrist or orthopedist who can order advanced imagining and steer you in the right treatment protocol.
