    Default My Right Ankle is Clicking/Popping!!

    My right ankle makes a clicking/popping sound. When I point my foot and then bring it back and extend my heel it pops/clicks everytime. I've been feeling it for a a while, but it seems to be getting worse. I twisted my ankle real bad while playing volleyball in high school, but it never really gave me problems. I've worn heels since high school, but I've been wearing spikey heels non-stop for the last 4 years. Could it be from wearing heels all the time?

    It should probably be looked at by a professional but have you thought about getting a brace? That will help stabilize your foot/ankle. You can't rely on that though or else you'll be dependent on it. Is there pain? I'm sure heels are not helping though. I hurt my ankle a month ago and ignored it and kept wearing heels and it just prolonged the injury.

    It definitely is. I have chronic ankle instability in my left ankle. It sucks.

    I don't have any pain, but I'm going to see doctor soon before it get worse.

    This started happening to me at Christmas. I bought a brace and wore it as much as possible and it "cured" the issue. Try it!

    That sort of clicking and popping with movement is usually the result of physiological amounts of air being squeezed out of joints and tendons, which isn't anything to worry about. There are some rare genetic connective-tissue syndromes that can result in similar symptoms and that are much more concerning, but I'm almost certain that something like that would have been detected very early. You only really need to be concerned if you have chronic pain or instability, and (as others have mentioned) bracing can be an effective way of preventing that sort of thing from developing. You could also avoid high heels, but I suspect that isn't a practical option for you.
