Question: Is cracking your fringers/knuckles bad for you!?
Sometimes i hear that it is and cause i do that a lot so i want to know if its bad so i can stop cracking themWww@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
its bad if you crack them a lot because when you get older, your finders will ache and have a hard time using them as you age!.

and its bad if you don't because when you also get older, your fingers stiffen up and will hurt if you try to crack them!.

main point, don't crack your fingers all the time, do it once in a while!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

While there is a story that there is a link between cracking your knuckles and arthritis there has only even been a single medical study in this area (completed recently)

They found that there is no link between cracking your knuckles and arthritis, but they did find that people who cracked their knuckles had very little grip strength as they became older!.

So, the only scientific evidence says!.!.!.bad for you!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I do the same thing and unfortunately for both of us, it is bad!. Cracking your knuckles ultimately leads to arthritis, which consists of several joint conditions in your body!. As you get older, it will become a repercussion to you as your body will experience harsh pains!. Your hands will probably feel pain and cause you to ache much more often than usual!. It's not good for anyone to do!. So, everyone here who cracks their knuckles, like you and me, need to somehow stop doing such a thing!. I have tried yet, but maybe if we try to do something to distract us or something that might help us get over this, that might help more!. I'm reading about it now!. I'll put some links in from Wikipedia, if that helps!. Speaking of pains, I think I can actually feel them now!.!.!.and I'm not that old either!.!.!.ugh!. Well, that's all I've got!. Hopefully this will help you with your problems!. I'm still trying to fix mine!. =(

EDIT: @ flingebunt: Oh!.!.!.it doesn't!? !.!.!.Hmm!. Well, what do you know!? However, I know that joint cracking does still lead to trouble, so we still have to be careful!.

EDIT: Ah, I see!. So it leads to pains in development that could possibly become arthritis on its own!. Now I see!. Okay, so we won't get arthritis directly, but eventually if we get enough pains, we will feel the pain and it might be a possible result!. But from just cracking your knuckles, you will only experience body pains for now!. I think I have this right!.!.!.right!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

It is not totally bad but if you do it often or in the wrong way it will surely have bad effects or might cause mild pain!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
