ankle popping/pain causes and treatment?

j w asked:

for the past few weeks i have been experiencinga grinding/popping in my left ankle that causes alot of pain. it happens when i bend my foot up or down, but only happens once in a blue moon. when it pops, the pain and popping lasts for a while, and it seems like i have to bend it back to get it to pop back into place for the pain to stop. sometimes it happens when i am not doing anything at all but sitting and moving my foot. i know it is not bone but maybe a tendon? the pain is on the outside of my ankle towards my heel. any ideas of what this is.. what to do about it.. and if i should see a doc? i do not have insurance so i only want to go to the doc if i have to. Thanks!

You may have developed what the doctors call a bone spur that is causing an occasional catch. It could just be something like your knuckles cracking–gas release. Could just be a tendon getting hung up.

However, it is also possible that you fractured one of the small bones of your foot and it is not healing right.

A doctor and x-rays are your best bet. Stay off of it as much as possible, and stop wiggling your foot!
