A reader’s 15-year-old-daughter has been suffering from “clicking bones” in her feet for the past two years.  It happens when she walks and affects the ankles and toes.  “The clicking is loud and very painful,” explains her mother.  “No one knows why and no one knows what to do.”  She already eats a healthy diet – including plenty of fish and glucosamine supplements.  What else can she do to try and get rid of this annoying problem?

Gill also suffered from this problem from a young age:  “I was thrown out of ballet class because the teacher couldn't stand the noise! I was told by my chiropractor that it was a case of being born with loose joints and the click is the trapped air coming out…It fades as one gets older – much older!” Gill’s advice is to try and ignore it, and rest if the pain is particularly bad.  She also recommends taking chondroitin in addition to glucosamine, to lubricate the joints.  

Another reader suggests tai chi for this problem, which is a traditional Chinese system of slow, meditative physical exercise designed for relaxation, balance and health.  “My back and ankles used to click badly until I started doing tai chi, which is said to help strengthen the bones. Now I don't click any more!”
