I have been cracking my knuckles every 5 minutes nonstop for 5 years. When I stop popping my fingers, they feel stiff and sore. My knuckles bones are really big because of that. Is it normal? And if possible does anyone know how to stop?
Instead of popping your knuckles try popping your neck... until it breaks.
I do this too, not as often though. My advice is just to avoid doing it an go cold turkey for a few days, that way eventually your joins will have time to relax and simply won't click anymore
i crack my knuckles and my toes more than every five minutes, i crack them constantly! and i mean LITERALLY constantly, for about the past 5 years. i've tried stopping, but it's addictive and i've just given up. i can crack every finger apart from my little finger (including my thumbs) and every toe, and some i push and some i pull. my middle finger often cracks really loudly and i have to push it a few times before it cracks. i know i'm a freak and it will be bad for me in the future, but i can't help myself!
I do it with all my bones continuously I just can't stop and I HATE it! I'm so worried about when I'm a little old lady and my legs and fingers start falling off.
I crack all of my knuckles at the same time by pushing both hands together but I can't do it every 5 minutes because it takes a while for the 'gas' to build back up for me :P
I've read lately that popping joints is a release of gasses in your joints and doesn't actually lead to long term damage. Not a doctor, it's just something I've read. But stop doing it anyway because it's hard to listen to. Unless you like annoying people... Then by all means, go ahead.
I do the same thing. It's pretty annoying actually, and can lead to problems as you get older. Hopefully we don't always have this habit :/
