I was sitting crosse-legged on bed and left ankle popped and had intense pain for next few minutes. After pain dulled, I stood and ankle feels stable but 24 hours later is still sore and I'm limping. no swelling or bruising. I haven't injured it but I'm on my feet from 5am until 11pm daily as a nurse and mom of 3 kids. I have arthritis and hx of knee injuries with surgery. This popping/pain thing happens with my knees but never with ankles before. any ideas?

If the ankle is not swollen, it is probably a ligament that got stretched too much.
Try icing it and do mild stretches. If it pains, stop.

I badly sprained my ankle about 3 weeks ago. I was in a hurry going down the stairs, lost my balance and landed on a bad side of my left foot, causing my left ankle to be stretched going on the inside. The first 48 hours were excruciating and the pain was un-believable. I've never had a serious ankle injury before.
So I immediately treated it using the RICE method. The following day, the bruising and swelling were so horrible. I found out that I got a second degree sprain and immediately panicked after that. I had a football game on that week and it been looking forward to it because I've been training for rt. I had teammates that had similar injuries and it took them months to fully recover, some of them stopped playing altogether. So I kinda had a short-term depression because I can't imagine myself not being able to run and play sports anymore.
Because I was so desperate to recover again, I contacted a lot of people that I know who do sports and asked them if they had similar injuries. One friend of mine, from the boy's football team in my university, told me about H.E.M. Ankle Rehab. I got a copy 4 days after I got injured. I immediately read and followed what was instructed and felt improvement on the first day. I was able to walk a bit, but I was in pain.
A couple of days after that, the swelling and bruising were subsid-ing significantly and on the fourth day, I was walking comfortably again. Although I've had felt a bit of stiffness, I continued doing what was instructed. My sister was surprised that I have recovered this fast. I told her about this book and was shocked on how effective the procedures were. I'm just so happy that this book was shared to me and how effective it is.
Heal your ankle fully & fast?

as a nurse i am sure that you know that anything that pops llike that is a strange happening. I would see if the pain goes away and if not go to the phyican to get treated

Your feet may still be flat. Are you sure they were corrected fully? It may be you still have what is considered a low arch, which is the same as a flatfoot. I suggest you take the wet footprint test to find out--you can find out how to do it by Googling it.

If you are a nurse you know what the answer to this question is. See your doc and get it checked out for safety sake. Better to get it checked early than to risk further damage if something is wrong.

It is arthritis Winter will aggravate this complaint .It is spreading from one joint to other. You should take some medication .I recommend homooeopathy as a better choice..
