Toe Movement

I constantly move my big toe, kind of popping my joint, I do it when I try to sleep, or when I'm doing anything.  I have a history of hard drug use and have been clean for a year.  Can you tell me what ant why?

it is difficult to answer your question without examining the foot.  you will  need an exam, gait analysis, and x-rays to see the integrity of the joint and determine why you crack the joint.

Does it hurt? Do you do it on purpose ...like a habit or does it do it on its own. I used to have problems with popping my jaw. Trying to relax that muscle helped and n ot popping it (on purpose) helped. Now it doesn't happen accept if I have to open my mouth quite large (Dentist).

This could be a form of Dystonia.  It is rare but I have seen a few cases in my podiatry practice.  Very tough to treat.
