Popping Or Snapping Sensation
Popping or snapping sensation in the ankle or feet may indicate a condition called subluxation or dislocation of the tendons. If a tendon is snapping over one of your ankle bones when making quick motions or descending stairs, without any associated ankle or foot pain, it is usually normal.
Conditions
Injuries to the Achilles Tendon
An overly stressed Achilles tendon can be subject to mild or serious injuries. If the injury is mild or moderate, it may be limited to burning or stiffness.
Peroneal Tendon Injury
A peroneal tendon injury most commonly occurs in individuals who participate in sports that involve repetitive ankle motion.
Structural Bone Deformity
A structural bone deformity usually occurs when some of the bones move out of place or a joint is stressed over a period of time.
