Feeling pulsation near ankle

This morning I lay on my bed with my left leg touching the bed frame. In that position I could feel strong pulsation near my left ankle.

There is nothing fetish about it.

I just wanted to know if someone else has experienced this. Either on left or right ankle.

I am not at all worried. I am just curious why this happened. It has never happened before.

Yes I have too and it’s a strong pulse and love watching the blood flow

It’s the posterior tibialus pulse. It’s an artery on the medial aspect of the ankle behind the medial malleolus.

That is your pulse in either ankle. It's absolutely normal, as we all have it. As we get older, the doctor will check the pulse in your ankle during the course of a physical.

You were just in the right position, at the right time to feel it.

I had a bypass and they took veins out of my leg. They check me for pulse in both feet every time I have any medical procedure. Standard I think for oldsters.

I know you - you're not an oldster - yet!

My doc checks my ankle pulse every time I see her - just one ankle. When I had ankle surgery -they used a magic marker and very deliberately marked both my dorsalis pedis pulse (top of the foot) and the posterior tibial pulse.

Interesting, some references refer to the tibial pulse and others refer to it as the tibialis pulse.
