Heel pain and popping in ankle
Hi,
I have seen about a billion doctors and am still looking for an answer to my foot pain.
Some of the doctors have said I have tarsal tunnel, but two of them have said I do not and that I should not have surgery.
I am on my third pair of orthodics which do help, but not enough to live my life the way I want to.
The pain is worse the longer I stand up.
Standing is much worse than walking and the pain is just in my heels.
My PT said that my subtalar joint has some stiffness.
But, here finally is my question.
After I stand up for a long time I can often sit down and rotate my ankle outwards which produces a large crack.
This helps relieve the pain, but I am back to square one if I stand for a bit.
Anyone have any idea if this cracking associated with pain relief could help me find a diagnosis?
Any ideas?
I am in my early 20s.
Thanks!

I have the same symptoms and it is so irratating!! Popping outward produces cracks (sometimes one big one or a bunch of small ones). The big cracks are the most satisfying to me, but I usually take what I can get… If it doesnt pop and I feel like I need to, this is when the pain kicks in. I get cramped up in my shin and sometimes even up to my thigh and sensored. I saw a deep tissue therapist and he thinks everytime I pop I am “re injurying or spraining my ankle”. Let me know if you have any new information about this. I don’t know anyone who pops as much as I do, so it would be interesting to talk.
