I heard an extremely loud pop when i sprained my ankle playing sports. can completely bear weight w/o pain though. should i see a doc?

Give it 24 hrs: If you can continue to weight bear without much pain, the chances are it is a simple sprain. However inflammation sets in about 6-12 hrs post injury and if you find that you are not able to put weight on it at any stage, see a Dr. You may need an X Ray to rule out an avulsion fracture, which is when a tiny flake of bone can get pulled off with the ligament during a sprain as well
