What Causes Painful Popping Sound In Ankle And Lower Leg?

I fell over a month ago when I went to stand up my right foot would not go flat on the floor. I fell toward a wall on my right with all of my weight being on the outside of my foot which was still in an upward position. The x-ray didn t show a break but an MRI last week showed findings in the ankle. My concern is the extreme pain in the lower part of my leg usually in the back and the side and a popping sound that happens often in my foot ankle and lower leg. Any suggestions as to what maybe going on
