You should see your doctor after an ankle sprain if you notice any of the following: 1  You heard a popping sound at the time you sprained your ankle. 2  You have moderate pain or severe swelling or bruising around your ankle. 3  You can't walk or put weight on your affected foot, or your ankle feels unstable.
You're most likely to sprain your ankle when you have your toes on the ground and heel up (plantar flexion). This position puts your ankle's ligaments under tension, making them vulnerable. A sudden force like landing on an uneven surface may turn your ankle inward (inversion).ut the sprain could be more severe; your ankle might swell and it might hurt too much to stand on it. If it's a severe sprain, you might have felt a pop when the injury happened. A sprained ankle means one or more ligaments on the outer side of your ankle were stretched or torn.
