Hi there..I still haven't resolved my clicking problems and it seems to happen everywhere on the feet. I'm 41 and getting older..

Is it a click in the big toe joint closest to the nail? Let me know how you went with the clicking as I think mine is doing the same.. how old are you I'm 22 and I know it can be very frustrating..

Hello,

The various possibilities for popping,clicking joints are a cartilage tear or rotator cuff tear that is rubbing with the joint,arthrosis or degeneration of the joint and arthritis esp osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.More harmless is clicking of joints due to relatively lax joint capsules, that allows more than a usual amount of movement. Try stretching your joints if you don’t like cracking them as often and pls do stretches that stretch the ligaments around those joints.

Otherwise the exact cause can be found out only after x-ray or blood tests.Pls consult an orthopedician or rheumatologist for that.

Hope it helps.Take care and regards.
