Its difficult to get rid of the habit of cracking your knuckles but you have to think of the risks of arthritis and other problems that may occur. What i usually do is either keep my fingers away from each other or have one hand occupied by twirling my pencil, tapping the desk, or crossing my arms. You just have to get the idea of cracking your knuckles out so you can get rid of that urge to pop them.
No, cracking your knuckles does not cause them to get bigger. The sound you hear when cracking your knuckles is the release of gas bubbles in the joint, and it does not have any long-term effects on the size of your knuckles.
I'm not sure but when you crack your knuckles it releases the gas from your joints It doesn't hurt you if you stop (even though I do). There may be rumors saying knuckle cracking leads to arthritis but there is no concrete evidence supporting this. CRACK AWAY!
To stop clicking your knuckles, first you must distract yourself from your knuckles and whenever you are about to click, think about something else such as clicking your tongue for example... Wish you luck, Josh
