ENT :: Loud Clicking Sound In My Ears Clicking On Swallowing
Everytime I swallow or clench my throat I hear a loud clicking Sound in my ears. A few months ago I had 2 inner ear Infections.
Is the sound from the Eustachian tubes and is it a form of eustachian tube dysfunction?

View 2 RepliesFoot / Ankle :: Arthroscopic Debridement And Lateral Ankle Reconstruction
I am just writing with the hope of getting some more help/assurance re the Gould brostrom (or as my letter has now pointed out Arthroscopic debridement and lateral ankle reconstruction - unsure if this is the same of different?) procedure which I am due to have in just over 2 weeks on the 22nd June.
I have been very unsure for a while now as to whether or not to go ahead with it but have decided to take the plunge, however I still have my doubts!
I injured my ankle initially around 5 years ago (ruptured ATFL showed up in MRI scan) and almost had the surgery back then, only to decide not to go ahead with it. Since then I have rolled over and sprained it on multiple occasions, and have felt it become increasingly weak to the point where I have very little confidence in its strength. When playing football I now wear lace up supports, which are strong enough to prevent the rolling, but obviously doesnt deal with the root cause and there is a still a feeling of achiness and limited movement. When not wearing my ankle supports I would say its at least a 50/50 chance I'm going to roll over on my ankle every time.
I can still run and go about my everyday life virtually without any issues (feel twinges but nothing major unless recently sprained) and the views of the consultants varied from the cautious 'maybe only have it if you're playing high level sport' ( which I'm not but just play football weekly for my local team), to saying yes I go for it as its clearly getting weaker and weaker and becoming more of a frustration.
I guess alongside asking for advice as to what to expect post op, I am also seeking assurance that by going ahead I am making the right decision (bearing in mind surgery is considered last resort and rehab process is lengthy).
Orthopedics :: Medial Ankle Pain 6 Weeks After Ankle Sprain
I'm a 42 year old female. Six weeks ago I was climbing ropes at the gym and dropped down from 4-6 feet onto a piece of excess rope resting on the ground. My ankle rolled and pain and swelling occurred immediately. Being a stubborn woman, I walked it off until the swelling started spilling over my shoe.
Got an X-ray from the orthopedic who said nothing was broken.
I was on crutches for 2 weeks and still in an air cast boot when I'm on uneven ground or working out. My workouts are modified (rowing, 12" box steps, shoulder work, cleans)and ankle swells 4x the size afterwards.
My current problem/question is this: Saturday I walked without the book (tennis shoes) on a flat surface and was very careful not to twist/turn or injure the ankle. Of course, it swelled 4x the size, as it always does each afternoon.
However, pain woke me up in the middle of the night/early the next morning. I couldn't put any weight on the foot and experienced severe pain over my medial ankle bone. It was extremely tender to the touch and any movement caused sharp pain.
One day later, it's sore but the severe pain is gone.
Foot / Ankle :: Nerve Pain In Heel/toe After Ankle Surgery
I had ankle surgery to repair my medial malleolus back on May 8. It was fairly routine--just 2 screws. I was in a cast for a week, then was put into a boot but told to treat it like a cast--NO weight bearing for 7 weeks, keep the boot on 24/7 unless in the bathtub. I followed directions religiously.
I did notice that when I pressed on certain areas of the foot, I would feel a sharp pain. This occurred in the heel (from the bottom), toes (again, from the bottom, primarily the foot pad below the pinky, second, and 4th toes). When I asked the doctor about this, he said (around week 5) that it was just because I hadn't been using the foot.
The problem persisted, and this week, week 7, I was cleared to start partial weight-bearing--walking in the boot while taking approximately 1/2 the weight off my foot via the crutches. I don't have ankle pain to speak of (or at least, not often and only if I overdo it), but I have terrible shooting pains in my heel and toes as I step. It's OK if I take most of the weight on the crutches, but as soon as I go to more than just a little weight on the boot, the pain starts.
This week I also started PT and the therapist told me this is nerve pain--not uncommon after surgery (don't know why the doctor couldn't have told me this, but OK). I couldn't get much of an idea from her how long this will persist or if there is anything I can do about it.
I'm doing my ankle and leg exercises (those are mostly non-weightbearing at this point) and they are going great. The ankle is clearly healing well. But I don't see how I can progress to full weight bearing (supposed to try that next week!) when much more than a little pressure on the foot results in this nerve pain!
Help! Does anyone have experience with this? Is there anything I can do to speed things along? I need to return to my second job (barefoot hoof trimming for horses--how I broke the ankle!) ASAP and I'm fearful this will slow my progress to a crawl! The doctor is useless.
Foot / Ankle :: Ankle Scar Tissue (Arthrofibrosis)
I've had 4 procedures on my ankle to remove bone spurs from the front of the joint and to microfracture an OCD.
The first procedure didn't get all of the bone spur removed and I lost 6 months doing PT and then had to have another procedure at the NYC HSS to correct the issues and I also had the stem cells to regenerate the cartilage.
All of the repairs to the ankle went well and the stems regenerated the cartilage based on the 6 month follow up MRI.
I never regained my dorsiflexion. I am stuck at about 2 degrees.
I then had a gastroc release where they told me they got over 10 degrees during the surgery but I was unable to retain it after the PT started.
I then had a debridement to remove scar tissue from the front of the ankle where they we able to get about 16 degrees during the surgery, but the scar tissue once again re-formed and I stuck back at the 2-3 degrees.
I am currently still working hard on PT and have ART and GRASTON done 2x per week.
Has anyone had any luck in finding a surgeon or technique that helps permanently remove the scar tissue to regain ROM?
I'm also a candidate to wear the ankle distraction device where the device is supposed to be able to re-distribute my existing dorsiflexion and plantarflexion to give me enough of each to walk with a normal gait.
I am currently trying to weigh my (limited) options as after 20 months I'm tired of walking with a limp!
Ankle Reconstruction - Still Have Loud Cracking In Ankle
I'm 34. I had a left ankle reconstruction for instability with a ligament repair and arthroscopy in July 2015.
My recovery has been slow due to hip operations around the same time. My ankle has healed well however the range of motion is still below neutral for dorsiflexion though it's improving.
I still have loud cracking on the outside (lateral) aspect of my ankle where the ligaments were repaired. It's terribly painful and my ankle swells straight away each time. It usually occurs with shifting my weight. My ankle surgeon says it's scar tissue breaking down but is it usually accompanied by a loud painful crack in the same area each time. I'm worried it's not ok.

Clicking In Throat / Lump ?
Tonight I started to feel something weird in my throat. I don't really know how to describe it, but I feel something in my throat, like something's there or stuck when I swallow, but there's nothing there. It doesn't hurt, my throat doesn't feel strange at all, and my breathing is fine, but it's just unsettling because I have really bad anxiety and every time anything happens with my throat, I get really anxious and scared, which leads me to have an anxiety attack, so I've been looking online for some answers, but so far I haven't found much.
I have been sick for the past week and I've been coughing a lot (I almost lost my voice), so maybe I've hurt my throat or something? I don't really feel it when I'm drinking something, but it does feel a little more rough to swallow than usual, even with my cold.
Penis :: Clicking Sound When I Cum
I have noticed it before. It usually happens when I have watched porn or something that makes me have a big load.
Just as I have the first ejaculation, there is a discomforting pop in my stomach, just above the penis, like 3cm above and 3cm to the left of my shaft.
Is this normal? Where could the sound originate from?

About a year ago my ex partner pushed me forcefully in the throat. Immediately I told him that he had done something to my neck. I gripped my throat with my hand to hold it back in place. I had experienced a popping in my throat and knew something was wrong. From that day to this I have had trouble swallowing my own saliva. Eating is difficult and I stopped drinking for fear of the bone clicking out of line. It usually happens when my head is turned to the left side and I either yawn or swallow. This immediately causes my larynx to pop out and it is petrifying as you think you are going to die. This has caused me to have panic attacks and a fear of swallowing. I recently had the start of kidney failure due to not drinking enough due to fear of swallowing. When I try to swallow my own saliva I cannot complete the motion and continuously feel if I have a thick lump in my throat and to swallow I have to swallow hard which causes me to have a sharp pain in my jaw and pain going from my throat to my ear, which feels tender all the time. This injury was reported to the police and I have now had an ultrasound and being sent for further investigations in the ENT dept. I am waiting for an appointment now. I have started to search the web for information on the larynx .. What does it look like, how does it work etc. and came across your site where I have read about other people having exactly he same larynx popping out problem. It truly is frightening and gives me such discomfort and I constant reminder of the assault. I wonder if this can be operated on to relieve the pain and discomfort.

View 1 RepliesENT :: Muffled Hearing And Clicking In One Ear
I am frustrated and hope someone can help. I am a male in my early 50's and I am very healthy. I have never had any problems with my hearing but now my right ear is clogged and there is a clicking sound when swallowing, drinking, etc. This is a result of head trauma.
In late June 2013, 9 months ago, I did something very stupid and have regretted it ever since. I was using a Hi Lift jack, that is normally used for 4x4 trucks, etc., to jack a trailer up. I was stupid and leaned over the jack to look at something on the trailer. The leaning over meant I leaned between the jack handle and the lifting part of the jack, and I was not holding the handle. Just at that exact moment the handle sprung free and slammed back up right, hitting me squarely on the left side of my head. I wanted to pass out but did not. However, it hurt like heck and for the next 12 - 24 hours I could barely talk and eating was out of the question. My jaw and head hurt so bad. And, after this I noticed my right ear was plugged and clicked when swallowing, drinking, and so on.
I thought it would eventually go away as I was sure I had some swelling, etc from the jack handle hitting me but it has not. I finally went to my family doctor and he diagnosed me with TMJ and sent me to a doctor specializing in craniofacial issues and TMJ. He said my right side of my face hurting more than the left side that actually took the brunt of the jack handle force was correct because everything got shoved to the right. I started wearing a lower mouth piece in early Dec 2013, approx. 5 months after the injury. He stated my jaw was dislocated slightly and the mouth piece should eventually fix it and end the muffled sound and clicking. Well, here it is almost 4 months later and there has been zero change. He did add a water filled additional support for me to wear at night to see if lifting the mouthpiece higher will help. I believe the idea is for the jaw to be able to relax to allow any residual swelling to decrease without any tension on the jaw and muscles.
I was thinking if the mouth piece was to gradually reposition my jaw then perhaps I was out of alignment in that area and the chiropractor I had seen years ago could help. He could not find anything wrong and suggested I find a person who specializes in craniosacral massage therapy. I was unsure what that was exactly and after reading about it decided I would pass on it given it's reputation. I then thought that perhaps an ENT might be able to figure this out so I scheduled an appointment with one.
I saw him 3 days ago and he could not see anything wrong although he did think my right ear was interesting because he said the ear drum was not firmly attached to the bone, but that it was not a problem. He did refer me to a different office to a different ENT for a hearing test and a Eustachian tube function test and I had that done today.
The Eustachian tube function test showed that everything was fine and functioning properly.
The hearing test was fine and did not show any loss of hearing. What I did find interesting myself was that the test administrator's voice was louder I my muffled right ear although she said she had not changed the volume at all from when she was speaking into my left ear. Weird...muffled side was louder.
I go into another room and this different ENT doctor looked in my ears, throat, and nose, and said there was nothing wrong with me. I was asked if I had allergies of which I replied minimal issues since her colleague had done my septoplasty 6 - 7 years ago. In fact, most people I know are suffering with allergies the past few weeks and I had my biggest issues 5 days ago. I took two of those little red sudafed pills and 400 mg Ibuprofen and that took care of my allergy issue. This ENT prescribed me a steroid nose spray (nasonex?) spray and I was instructed to spray it straight back in my nose into the eustachian tube area and not straight up the nose like normal nose sprays.
This ENT doctor did not see anything interesting with the eardrum not being firmly attached to the bone, meaning she thought it was attached completely. So, there is a difference of opinion between ENT doctors. One sees something interesting, one does not.
This is so frustrating because there is something wrong with my right ear. When I plug my nose and blow like you do when you want to pop & clear your ears my left ear clears like normal but the right ear does not. It is plugged, it is muffled, and it clicks. There is no pain, and no discomfort, but it is irritating because it is not right. It should clear.
What is gong on with normal hearing, normal eustachian tube function, two ENTs look into my ear and do not see any infection, do not see any wax build up, nothing. They say everything is fine, even though it is not. They know of the injury to my head but cannot find anything wrong.
Another thing I did was back in December I was take 800mg of Ibuprofen twice per day, for a total of 1,600 mg, for probably two solid weeks, and that was after 2 days of taking hydrocodone. This was a result of a doctor doing an outpatient procedure on me, wait, did I say doctor? That is another story for another day but what I am getting at is since Ibuprofen helps with swelling I would have thought any swelling any place in my body would have been taken care with that high a dose for so long. But, there was no change in the muffled and clogged and clicking noise issue in my right ear.
Cardiovascular :: POTS With Clicking Sound
I sometimes have pounding heart along with POTS symptoms. I am diagnosed with POTS. Other findings are very low exercise threshold, multiple atrial couplets and low blood gas oxygen levels. Doctors aren't concerned, but they should be I think.
Just today I had pounding heart with loud clicking sound. This has happened before and you can very clearly hear the clicks along with the pulse. Doctor doesn't believe me, as there is no murmur usually.
I have mental illness and therefore I am not believed. I am 33 years ol male, and have intolerance to neuroleptics, which has caused heart problems.
Has anyone experienced these sounds themselves or know what they are. Nurse mentioned valve's making a sound sometimes.
What Causes The Clicking Sound In Your Ears When You Swallow?
Although my problem has been diagnosed as muscular, I have been doing PT for almost two months and the clicking sound when I swallow just doesn't go away (neither does the tinnitus).
I understand why the tinnitus is happening (the ligament to the inner ear is stretched), but I don't understand the clicking sound at all. Can someone explain it to me?
