Question: What's wrong with my ankle? Please help!?
About maybe 2-3 years ago I was standing up on a sled and went down a snowhill. My ankle flipped the wrong way. At the time I was 10 years old. I felt really bad pain but didn't cry. So I crawled back to my house because I couldn't walk. I went to my door and stood up on my foot and screamed and started to cry. My mom rushed me inside to get my snow stuff off. We couldn't get my boot off because my foot was so swollen. But we did end up getting it off. About 30 min. later we went to the ER. They gave us some ice to put on my ankle. About 10 min. after we got there a doctor took some x-rays. He looked at then and said it wasnt broken. They gave me a really flimsey brace and crutches to use for a week. After a week I still couldnt walk. But my mom said no crutches. So I hopped on one foot for almost 2 weeks. But then I would walk with a bad limp being in pain.
As of today when I run I get bad sharp pain in that ankle. Also when ever I move that ankle it cracks really loudly!
I'm wondering could I have broken it?

Answers:
It's not broke but you have tightened up tendons on the muscles pulling the muscles together to make it crack the way it is. The tendons need to be freed up to get rid of the pain and cracking. As you should already know, the medical world doesn't know how. You need to get someone trained in the tendons to help get rid of the pain.
have done tendon work.
