How come my ankles constantly pop and hurt?

Many reasons. : Previous trauma, tendinitis, entrapped nerves, knee or hip issues, ankle arthritis, bone spurs, or excess weight can all cause ankle to hurt and sometimes pop. See a podiatrist for individualized treatment options for your particular cause.

Pain?: Popping or snapping around the ankle is usually caused by a tendon sliding over a bony prominence . These normally are of no concern unless they are painful. Since u are having pain, i would suggest a referral to a foot/ ankle specialist for an evaluation.
