Sprained ankle after three weeks

Question

I was playing basketball and landed on the side of my foot with all my weight causing my ankle to twist. Now, after three weeks, my anke constantly pops when i turn my foot to the side and sometimes it feels like my anlkle wants to shift into socket, like it is partially dislocated.

there is little pain except when my ankle pops. it feels better for a minute then it pops again if i walk on it. Why is it popping so often?

Answer 1

your tendons are messed up...or torn....is there any swelling?...best thing is to stabalize it for a while... and let it heal....throw some ice on it  once in a while  to speed up the healing process

Answer 2

Hmmm...I would go and see a doctor, as your ligaments and tendons sounds like they are loose, which in the long run could cause more injuries. They may refer you to a physiotherapist to get some exercises to strengthen it!!

Keep it elevated, and ice it, and most importantly REST it!

Good luck!
