Go see another doc: Well, maybe give your current doc another chance. Get a simple xray to make sure no stress fracture (not likely but just to be safe) or other orthopedic issue. Consider getting gait analysis to determine how you walk. If redness, swelling or fevers/sweats/chills, we need to worry about infection. Consider referral to sports medicine specialist or orthopedic surgeon for further evaluation.

Cracking: Noise can be gas expelling from the joint or possibly tendons diloccating out of their normal groove or pathway. I would follow up with the doc.....Explain his treatment recommendation did not help.
