    "Cracking" your fingers is actually just releasing gas build up in between your joints, which is fine. I think if you do it like ALL the time you can run the risk of arthritis though.

    I love cracking my fingers. =P

  • Yes; in fact I can't feel my hands anymore, it's all numb. Also we're having miniature man-made chickens for lunch tonight.

    All the time.
    Does anyone else have one they can just pop continuously? That creeps everyone I know out.

      • Really? I don't fully believe the people that told me this. I thought they were telling me that to scare me. This is just something I'll have to see in the future. Hmm..I'll do the experiment with ya :)

    I would if I could, but I'm overmobile so nothing happens when I try to do it.

    What I've heard is that it's good to crack them from time to time, but not if you overdo it.

    YES! It feels sooo good.

    Also, here's a quote from Wikipedia, "The common advice that "cracking your knuckles gives you arthritis" is not supported by any evidence."

    Ha! There's no evidence that it's bad for you after all.

    It's good for you, it releases the air bubbles in your joints. The air bubbles are the cracking sound.

    My orthopedic doc, and the physical therapist he sent me to, told me it really doesn't do any damage as long as you are not being rough with the joint.
