Cracking sound from ankle joint
I am having cracking sound from my ankle while walking. There is no pain but dont know why it sounds like cracking and the sound is loud.
Can someone please help what causes this sound and what can i do to overcome this?
I have attached the pic, the sound comes from highlighted part.
I think the sound must be of either a tendon slipping over a bone or it could be from fluids moving abound in the joint.
Either way, painless sounds are nothing to worry about and are quite common. They can even come and go on their own.

If there is no pain and just cracking sounds I think it is not a cause of worry. Get your serum vitamin d levels checked. And if the sound doesn't get resolved get an xray pf ankle done
