Tendon which runs through and along the ankle 'slips-out' of the channel in the bone in which the tendon normally rests and slides through (kinda like a belt or rope in a pully. Due to a couple of different reasons the tendon can become disloged from the "process" and get pinched. The popping is made when the tendon snaps back into place.

Your ankle won't be healed in 3 weeks?? I have sprained my ankle before and usually a week tops
granted I don't know the "circumstances" but I really find it hard to believe you can still work (footpedal) but cannot drive in 3 weeks. If you are still in so much pain and on crutches then, then you have much more than a sprain.
Microcassettes popping
Has anyone out there had trouble with Maxell microcasettes popping from the spool. For some reason, our office has gotten a batch of tapes that continues to pop from the spool when the physician dictates to the end of side A and then onto side B. Tapes are popping left and right. At first, it was just one particular physician's tapes, so we thought it was the machine. However, now they are all popping, but only if dictated to side B. Has anyone had better luck with other brands? Need some help. The physicians don't want to redictate, so I am losing $ and they are wasting time dictating only to have the tape pop.
Why does this India site still keep popping up?
Heavens, now you're popping in about NOT having kids. You've sure been quiet for a while!
If you read the whole thread and all my comments, I said that MTing is a big career choice for women in their childbearing years when they want to work at home. We ALL know that, though some of us want to refuse that reality. It always has been the #1 career choice for women who want to work and be home with their kids. Period. Of course, there are a lot of other women who choose the career or fall into it for different reasons. Its like the #1 job new moms or wanna-be moms look into. You all sure blast them when they post on here with a few innocent Qs on how to get into the industry. You don't have kids by choice - good for you! You and I have crossed paths many, many times before. Its a great choice for you, and I totally respect it. At least you aren't having kids and dumping them in day care centers! That I just do NOT get, and never will, especially when you could have them home with you - at least the choice is there. And as for moms not being able to control their kids, you will NEVER be able to control them when you just ship them out. No one ever seems to post an argument on that one. Yeah, I couldn't control little Johnny and Sara. They never wanted to just entertain themselves, or play with each other. All they did was fight and scream and demand MY attention, so...off they went to day care, and now its SO much better when they're home. They get along beautifully now, and just LOVE each other, and no more fighting...Nope, the only peace is the 8, or 10, or 12 hours a day that they are absent from their home. Sooo sad. And the poor day care workers and teachers - they get to deal with the disastrous kids whose own mothers can't stand them underfoot, but at least they get paid $$ for it!! Maybe I'm in the wrong profession.
you can use incredimail to get the receipt function, works with most normal emails by popping or how
to send the work to her, that way you have a receipt basically that it is sent and when she picked it up. it is crypted and doesn't take long to send and/or use. it is free download at hypersend.com. the free part does have a limit to how much can be sent a month, but i use several accts and swap when i run out of room. i had a company that didn't go through the MTSO to request resends, they went through me. i finally had to start billing. i billed 0.25 for every resend and it took my time to locate the file they wanted, attach, and resend for free. i didn't mind when it was occasionally, but to us time is money and when it takes away from your production, you should be compensated.
Have one all the way around my ankle and am considering another! sm
I am setting a personal goal for myself that if I can lose 30 pounds, I "get" to have another tattoo; haven't decided on small of back or back of shoulder! I love my first tattoo and have had many compliments on it, so I think more would see it on the back of my shoulder. It really didn't hurt that bad, but after having kids, I have a pretty good pain tolerance. It really just felt like someone was scratching you and kind of got used to it once it went on for about 10 minutes! Filling in the color does hurt a little more, but it was really and truly not that bad!!! Good Luck :)
ankle pain
You know, my ankle has been hurting for the last month or so. I never thought to attribute it to my foot pedal. But it is the foot I use on the pedal.
Can't type with a broken ankle?
Can't believe I am this right sided! I have a broken ankle (right) and can't seem to coordinate my left foot on the pedal with my hands on the keyboard! I know this will pass, but it sure is wierd!!!!
Unfortunately, I sprained my ankle and cannot drive (sm)
so that is why I was going to take the Amtrak!
The SOBs won't pick me up. How's that for family. 
Yeah, I was thinking that, but in my ankle?
Usually that is in the calf, is it not?
Ugh...I just don't need this right now.
solving leg/ankle edema
Yes, it comes from sitting too long. Try standing up and moving around a bit more during the day, or take 15 minutes and put your feet up above the level of your heart to alleviate dependent edema.
You might also try adjusting your chair so it doesn't cut off your circulation at the back of the knees, or even putting something under the desk to put your pedal on to make it a graded elevation instead of lying flat on the floor.
Hope that helps!
ankle edema question
I am very concerned because just recently I started getting pitting edema in my ankles. They are extremely bad. I can't wear socks it is so bad. I don't have a clue what could be causing it. I did have 3 kidney stones last year that I don't think ever passed out of my bladder but I have no more trouble out of it. Then no other problems. I dont go to the restroom hardly at all, which has me worried. I have tried Lasix which worked but I get scared because I feel dehydrated. Mouth is dry, etc. It has me worried for DVT or CHF. I am only 38.
Any ideas what else it could be or if I am needing to go to ER ASAP. I dont have insurance so I dont want to go if it is just from sitting at the computer all day and is normal.
tia,
Anyone have ankle swelling in their pedal foot? sm
Does anyone else have swelling in their calf/ankle/foot after a long day of typing? Also I have shin splint symptoms in the anterior shin which I think may be from just overuse. I have been doing this type of work many years and am overweight. Just wondering if anyone else has these sort of symptoms because I am wondering if it is just from MTing and weight or if I need to go to the doc and get tests run.
Thanks
Not me, but kids' friends have them. Behind your shoulder or on your ankle would be nice. nm

I'm thinking about starting Curves again. I used to go but had to have surgery on my ankle and
just never started back up again. I was thinking when the kids start school, I might start going right after the leavein the morning. I don't start work until 10 a.m. I loved it the first time around. I get bored really easy and so constantly switching machines and moving around really appealed to me. I lost about 20 pounds the first time, but then I gained it all back and then some after my surgery cause I had to be off my feet for about two months and then of course my VERY sedentary job as an MT.
We should get buddy system going on here where we encourage each other and stuff. Cause I don't have any real life buddies to go with me. When you work at home, you're sort of isolated. Plus I just moved to a new place and only know my sister and she is a full-time RN with a very crazy schedule and loooooong hours.
My ankle pops. It's not painful, but occasionally it will get stiff and then pop very loudly.
