A member asked:
My ankle 'cracks' a often when walking around what is the cause of this? (similar effect to when people crack their knuckles)
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It's either: Gas expelling from the ankle joint capsule, or your peroneal tendons moving out of their groove in the region behind the ankle.
