Cracking, or popping knuckles is one of many nervous habits people develop in response to anxiety!. Similar habits include biting nails, pulling or twirling hair, and knuckle chewing!. Although cracking your knuckles probably does not cause arthritis, depending on the severity and length of the habit, it can lead to other serious adverse effects, and even be a sign of more serious nervous disorders!.

Cracking knuckles often occurs when one is either nervous, anxious, or excited!. So when you feel anxiety or excitement or nurvous, try playing with your hair or jewelry or get some water or SOMETHING, ANYTHING besides cracking!.
If you continue this bad habit, you could easily end up with a bad case of arthritis and that is not fun!Www@Answer-Health@Com

Yes, it is a bad habit!.
It hurts because your joints have gotten used to it!. When you crack your knuckles, you are acutally popping your joints into or out of their normal position!.
Is this normal!?
So, when a kid want's to eat candy for dinner, what do you do!? Tell them no!
I'm saying the same to you, "No!" Say no to yourself!. Don't give into the urge!. It is estimated it takes 2 weeks to break from a bad habit!. Don't do it - especially when you're nervous!.

every week set a goal, "i'm only going to crack my knuckles twice a day this week"!. the next week have it down to once a day, then just try to stop for as long as you can, if you over-do your goal by not cracking them at all for a week it'll be easy to just crack them every once in a while!. i think %50 of people crack them at one point or anotherWww@Answer-Health@Com
You could try a doctor! They can help sometimes with stuff like this!. They probably give the best advice, since they help people with issues like this!. Or you could try the taping thing like that first girl suggested!. It worked for me! Or, next time you're going to crack your knuckles, think about it and tell yourself not to do it!.!.!.think of all the negative things like in the long run, you could get arthritis in your hands and not be able to move them!Www@Answer-Health@Com
Think about the fact that if you bash/smack your hand, due to the fact that you pop air and erode at the bone everytime you crack them, your hand will hurt 20 times more then if you don't!.
Worked for me!. Also, stopped me playing hockey in the winter, as my fingers would get too numb and stiff to move!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

well this might sound weird but crack them little by little each day and try doing things not to think about it!.!. lol so try to crack them less each day and you will just keep cracking them less yea and i had that problem with cracking my neck but that worked for me and i rarely crack my neck now or maybe just lightly crack them if that make sense!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Well, why do you want to stop!? You say it feels good and that they hurt if you don't, so just keep doing it!. Of course there are some slight health risks from cracking knuckles, but most are just discomfort in old age!. If you really wanna quit then just STOP! and when they get to hurting rub a SMALL amount of Bengay on them, and i do mean a SMALL amount because that stuff will set you on fire!
Hope this helped

It can be bad if you do it to much!
You could try seeing how long you can go without cracking them, then if you cant last more than 5 minutes than sorry I dont know what to do other than see the doctor!.
After a while if you dont do anything it could get worse!.
Mabey tape would work!.!.!.
Sorry I dont really know!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

What i would do is have your closest friend tell you and remind you not to crack your knuckles and i bet your habit will go away soon!. Or you could tape your hands together but i think that's too dramatic lol!. I'd go with the first part!. Good Luck! ~kaitlyn~Www@Answer-Health@Com
Find something else to remove the tension, like tap your foot or rattle your fingers!. Take the impulsive need to crack your knuckles and channel it into some less-harmful activity!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Tape your hands!.!.!.it sounds weird, but works fine ;) try masking tape!.!.!.and write "do not touch" on them!. It'll make you laugh, and you'll forget about wanting to crack them!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Could possibly lead to arthritis but thats not proven!. Massage your hands daily or maybe even try a hypnotist or even acupuncture in your hands!.!.!.!.see if that helps!.!.!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
