I pop all my knuckles, toes, and my neck compulsively, and on rare occasions my elbows too. But I can "pop" my knees in the traditional fashion too. None of my other joints make noises without my impetus. I have pulled my elbow joint or made it sore on a few occasions, but those are always connected with specific actions--like, I had to quick pull a toddler up and into the car with one arm before he tried to run off into the street--and I don't think I strain them any more than the average person would.

I think I have abnormally tall arches, actually. Standing flat on my feet it looks like I have a good 1 to 1.5 centimeters of clearance underneath. When my feet are propped up and totally relaxed, the toes are still drawn back a bit as if I'm flexing them. They've always been like that. I do walk as if I were flat-footed--I tend to put the whole foot down, rather than rolling forward from my heel, and sometimes I even put the toe down first. I've had some heel pain in the past (first thing in the morning like plantar fasciitis,) but it was mostly during pregnancy and always went away after a few days.
