Yes; you can squeeze something really hard when you feel the need to crack your knuckles.
No. It Makes your knuckles swell up and never goes away. :\ So stop cracking your knuckles!!
You can stop anytime you choose.
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.
cracking your knuckles can become a habit, so you just need to work on decreasing the amount of times your crack your knuckles. Every time you reach to crack them, remember that the more you do, as you grow in age, you will begin to show the signs of arthritus. That should help your mindset (:
Its a habit i do it and it is harmful try doing stuff to stop like i wear a rubber band every time i crack my knuckles i simply snap it on my wrist
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.
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
I believe the swelling casued by cracking knuckles is just a myth, I have been cracking them and know people who used to do it or still do it, they never noticed any swelling. Actually when you crack knuckles there is hydrogen and some other gas bubble like substance which actually burst and that is how you hear the crack, so I think that has nothing to with Swelling of fingers or toes
I used to crack my knuckles all the time, but i managed to quit. how? well, whenever i felt like cracking i bent and straightened my fingers until the urge was gone, and after, maybe a week, i managed to stop
Um, yeah hate to burst your bubble but that is completely untrue. But if your insistant just tape your fingers together THANKS FOR READING. KEEP THOSE KNUCKLES POPPING
No, I still managed to crack mine, and it hurt to pull all the tape off
