My left ankle joint produces pop sound
These days my left ankle joint makes pop sound every time I take a step. This is not painful but is making me worry.
Is this due to deficiency of some vitamins in the body?
It has started making noise during this lockdown time Or i would say since Jan.
I am not doing walks or exercises as such and so could be this issue?
How can I improve my joint health.
Sometimes I have noticed my knee joint (left) too making some creaky sound.
I had no issues with them earlier when I used to walk earlier when I used to commute to office.
Any remedies?
Thanks in advance.

Talk to experienced orthopedist online and get your health questions answered in just 5 minutes.
Too much sitting is causing the problem associated with relatively less physical activity. Sitting cross legged leads to pressure/inflammation on the tendons near the feet and when they rub across the bones or within themselves then they give a noise. Sitting is also causing patellofemoral joint issues at the knee..
Next Steps
improve sitting, ergonomic manner, frequent breaks and stretching exercises.
