I’ve had it for a year now. I play volleyball so after an hour or two, every time I jumped, my ankle snapped. Not that it was painful, it just felt ‘wrong’. After three minutes and some soft rotations of my ankle, that feeling was gone. The problem was that my confidence (in vertical leap) wasn’t normal anymore, so playing at a good level was not an option… A general practicioner, a physiotherapist and a sports doctor later I still hadn’t figured out what was going on. But then some secretary of the second sports doctor came along…she immediately knew what was wrong.
Anyone got a surgery for it already? and what were the results?

Yes. I reckon you have tightness in your lower body, probably in the back of your body. Try massaging the soles of your feet, do more calf and hamstring stretches to start with.

I Have ‘snapping Ankle’ i have had this since i can remember (being 26 now), i struggle to go on brisk walks and running is not an option as my ankle gives way and i can no longer walk on it.
I have been to the doctors for many years and have had no help’growing pains’, ‘Its just the tendors doing something’ never really had the chance to find out what that something was.
Recently been back yet again as the snapping is getting to the point where just wlaking its a issue you hear it over general out door noise the snapping is so loud and painful. Doctor refered me to a have an X RAY which came back ‘clear’ so i refered my self to a sport injury Thearpy who refered me to Ostropath, i dont 9 hous treatment and still no different. I have now stopped going as i cannot afford to spend £35 per half hour session to try ease the pain that it was doing at the time the snapping didnt stop but the pain eased.
After reading the above article i now have a more open view and now will be returning to the doctor with a printed version to get this sorted.
I will keep you posted!

For me, the sound and the pain are minor irritants. I can still run and play basketball sufficiently. So, my question is, what is the harm I may incur by ignoring this problem? Get worse, stay the same, or improve? If get worse, how worse?

Thanks,
Brian

@Emmy – Unfortunately, that sounds like a “normal” part of this condition. Have you been in to see a doctor at all? He or she can help you diagnose and decide on the right form of treatment for you.
