What Is The Cause For Grinding Sound In The Bones?

Hello, I've been told my Metatarsal bone keeps grinding with another in my foot, however the other week - after nearly breaking it, I've been told my bones are all in the right place in my foot (exemplar bone structure - I'm flattered I must say!). I was wondering if I might have been misdiagnosed?

Orthopaedic Surgeon 's  Response
Hello,
Thank you for using Healthcare magic.
I read your question and understood your concern.
From the details that you give I suppose that you arthritis of the metatarsal -phalangeal joint or bunions. Usually the grinding sound in the bones is a sign of arthritis.
I would love to see an xray of your foot, though, to give a better opinion.
Wish you all the best.
