Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I jump down about five steps and landed on my ankle and heard a really loud pop and it was swollen the next day but after a few days I of walking with discomfort and a little pain the swelling went down. That was a month ago but now when I try to run on it my ankle still hurts
Based upon your description, I suspect that you might have injured the ligaments around the ankle joint.
An initial xray of the ankle joint is necessary to ruleout any bony injury. If xrays are negative for any fracture, then MRI scan is needed to know the status of the ligaments around the ankle joint.
I suggest you to consult an orthopedic surgeon for a detailed evaluation and further management.
Hope this information is helpful. Good day
