What Could Pain At The Top Of Footbone, Cracking Sound While Walking With History Of Having Planter Faciltis Be?

I have foot pain on the top of foot where the bone is. When I wear sneakers with ties I have to keep loosening it because it increasingly gets worse. Also the bone in foot cracks when I start walking. Do you have any idea what this could be. In 2005 I was diagnosed with Plantar Faciitis. I have been wearing prescription othotics all this time and in summe for sandals have always worn Birkenstock brand.

Pain with crackling sound is suggestive of either a snapping tendon or a arthritis of joint. May be your foot wears are not right for your foot shape, I would recommend you to show to a podiatrist. How is your planter fascitis as sometime when you are not putting your weight it can also cause pain and crackling. Meanwhile keep your foot in gentle warm water twice in a day, avoid fast running, or standing for long hours. Take care.
