Had an injury over a year ago and ever since then my foot continuously "snaps" by my 5th metatarsal whenever i move it side to side. possible cause?

5th metatarsal: It seems your injury has returned. You should make an appointment to see a foot doctor. Hope all goes well - can't thing of anything that would prevent that!
