Ouch!!! I do know what you're talking about with the pop. I didn't break my ankle but my weak spots are my knees. Heard that pop when I slipped off icy stairs and landed with my knee under me at a 90 degree angle and in the process did enough damage to have to have ACL and meniscus repair afterward. Thought the pop might have been my imagination but the doc at the ER asked me if I'd heard it. That was the second (and hopefully last) time I had to have surgery on that knee--hope you'll be able to say the same for your ankle.Thank you ma'am. Bad ankle from an injury back in 1999. One who knows his ankle is weak should not step off the carport at a full stride walk onto the grass while taking the trash out AND...while wearing house slippers that offer no ankle support whatsoever. One should also remember his age while doing so and that he doesn't heal as fast as he once did. I'm such an idiot sometimes I need charts and graphs to demonstrate it. At first I thought someone had shot me because the "POP" sound was loud enough to qualify as a small caliber rifle shot...lol, but then I just realized it was my ankle turning over....final score was two fractures on the left side of my ankle. My son was very supportive and only laughed intermittently while I was picking out a cane to help me walk around for a few weeks while it heals..lol
