just dont crack ur bones....
(separate from previous answer)...experts believe the habit of cracking ones bones is more psychological then physical. Its literally all in your head. Trust me if don't think about it you will notice gradually that you have totally forgotten about cracking your bones. Next time when the "urge" to crack your bones arises, ignore it ( i understand how tempting it can be i had the same problem, but slowly i have stopped) ignore it by focusing on something you like, go watch tv or something that you like doing. Like all bad habits, its in your head, if you believe that you will not crack your bones, then you wil not crack your bones... good luck :)
No, cracking your knuckles does not harm your bones. The sound you hear when you crack your knuckles is caused by gas bubbles in the synovial fluid within the joints being released. There is no proven link between knuckle cracking and arthritis or any other bone or joint problems.
Cracking one's fingers is a common habit for releasing built-up gas within the joints, which creates an audible popping sound. While it can provide temporary relief or a sense of satisfaction, excessive cracking may lead to joint issues in the long run.
It depends on what bones you mean and where they are. Many synovial joints have tiny air pockets which can cause a popping or a crackling sound. I have two knee replacement joints and they pop at times which I was told was normal. Sometimes age can be a factor. There is always the friendly family doctor to ask as well.
Your mother probably said that it was, but actually cracking your elbows doesn't lead to arthritis or future pains, it actually relaxes tendons and muscles. The skin tissue can become destroyed if you stretch the actual tissue, but cracking the bone is actually just the release of a liquid escaping through stretched open cavities in your bones as a bubble, then popped.
My Daughter has Osgood's too and was told by specialists that if it continues after the age of 17 then to return because they should grow out of it when body and bones stop growing. So you might consider seeing a specialist if it continues.
try sitting on your hands whenever you are sitting.
Yea it is i have been cracking my knuckles a long time and it has become a habit BUT i choose to it is kind of a stress reliever
try punishing urself every time u do it. Maybe, no snacks or u pinch urself. If that doesn't work either tell someone, or just keep doing it. I crack my fingers and im not worried (separate from previous answer)...experts believe the habit of cracking ones bones is more psychological then physical. Its literally all in your head.

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
cracking your bones lol
Shouldn't
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 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.

If you stop cracking your knuckles, they may eventually return to their normal state. Continued cracking can lead to joint inflammation and reduced grip strength over time, so it's best to avoid the habit to prevent long-term damage.

Everytime you do it think this is a bad habit I should stop.
