A member asked:
My ankle keeps cracking when i rotate it. no obvious pain nor swelling. it is like crunching when i rotate it. will it go?

"cracking ankle" ? : "Cracking sounds " when rotating one's ankle can occur from early arthritic disease, or scar tissue formed from previous history of sprains or fracture. If there is no pain or swelling, there is minimal need to address this presently.
