k so i was playing basketball today and i went up for a layup and came down on my ankle not really hard but i heard a pop, and my ankle is a little swollen but i can still walk on it fine, i have a really high tolerance for pain so im not really sure if i injured it bad or not?
I'm not a doctor, but I've had my share of sports injuries. It could just be sprain. The best advice I can give you is to keep it iced (only keep the ice on the area for 15-20), keep it elevated (when you can), try not to do to much on it for the next 2 or 3 days. However, I would go get it checked out if the swelling gets worst, there's discoloration, or increased pain. Better safe than sorry.
If you can walk fine, you're probably fine - keep paying attention and if the dull pain lingers, see your Doctor...Good luck !!
you need to see your physician and get a ankle x-ray as needed.
