Clicking ankle?

Question

My left ankle clicks, I have never broken it, but just latley its really weak and clicks when I change gear, walk or work out. What can I do to strengthen it, I am not overweight.

Answer 1

Calf raises help.
The cracking noise itself is not symptomatic of any problem.

Answer 2

The clicking probably isn't anything but air inbetween your joints.

However, if you want to strenghten it, you can do several things. Calf raises work, stand at the edge of a stair with your heels off and do calf raises there too, do ankle circles (if that gets boring you can always do the alphabet with it and write out cool messages while working it), and I'm sure there are also some exercises you could do with weights, but I don't know them.

Hope this helps!

Answer 3

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?

Answer 4

I use to have this problem before. I take glucosamine supplement and at the same time join a yoga class and do some swimming as well.

After a few months, all these help. I hardly can feel my ankle clicking already.

Answer 5

I imagine that the clicking noise is air trapped between the joints. Some people just have bones that pop or crack more. I wouldn't worry about it unless it is causing you any pain or discomfort.

Answer 6

Lots of my joints click. If you've had an injury, or as you get older, joints tend to click more.

You're getting old, dear. :)

Answer 7

I've had the same problem. What I do is roll it every so often. It pops everything. Also, you may need more calcium in your system.
