Your injury sounds like it should be X-ray You did correct treatment. Ice for 48 hours then contrast bath would be more affective. Using buckets The popping sounds could be not serious. You need to know if fracture before any healing takes place especially if mal align I would recommend seeing a doctor for proper diagnosis and treatment.
