Is it bad that every time I take a step my feet crack (the sound)?


Question:
I'm 14 and I do use my feet alot. It does not hurt when it cracks. It just makes a popping noise that can be easily heard.

Answers:
I have had a problem with my ankle cracking since I was around 14. Im now 24 and I have never had a problem with it, but the doctor tells me that any joint which constantly cracks like that will hurt later on in life and cause artheritis. I wouldn't worry about it unless it gets bad. Staying active does help though, because it strengthens your foot muscles and allows them to better keep the bones aligned.
so do mine my brothers and my dad's, its fine
Go to a doctor to check it out because that constant crack is not normal
This happens to me a lot and has done it since I was much younger. I have asked several doctors including podiatrists about it and the general conciseness is - as long as there is no pain, live with it. They say that it isn't my feet it's the ankles.
i don think so..
Everything cracks, snaps, and pops on me. It's normal unless there is pain involved then there is a problem.
