Q: 

I recently fell and I heard popping in my left foot when I fell. Now it hurts to walk on plus my knee hurts and I walk with a limp. What could be the problem?

Hi Anon,

Welcome to EmpowHER.  You might have a sprained ankle.  Usually the symptoms are, bruising, swelling, stiffness, or difficulty walking.  It's important to see your doctor, he will give you a physical exam and may take x-rays of your ankle to determine whether there is a fracture.

Here are some resources for you
