Well,actually popping your knucklesis good every now and then is good because it will make them looser!But when u do it 24/7 your knuckles get big and really wrinklie,and you wont have very much control in holding things with your hands.And when they start hurting you should speak to your doctor or get medicine for it and if you keep doing it.And when you keep doing it its very addicting. Ido it alot but I've been trying to stop its very hard though,i pop my knucles,knees,back,wrist.And when you pop it it wont pop again for another 20 to 30 minutes because theres going to be a bubble stuck in there and until it dissolves you cant pop them again.
Habitualy cracking your knuckles can serve to cause Arthritis in your knuckles and will increase chances of long term joint problems

NO! Popping your knuckels just pushes the joint out and back into its normal postition. The sound that comes from popping them comes from the gas of the fluid that is between the bones as they are poppin in the fluid. It wont make your knuckles larger, but you might make your grip weaker if you do it too much cause it can start causing problems, such as arthritis.
When you pop your knuckles they may appear to expand, but they don't. Air trapped between your joints is released when you pop them creating a sound and as their air is forced out making them appear to expand.
They used to say that cracking your knuckles would give you arthritis. A doctor friend of mine says that that is not true; that "popping" your knuckles is just releasing gasses in the joints. However, the danger with cracking your knuckles is over-extending them or flexing them too far, which could cause pulled muscles or eventual joint damage.

Some people say that it can cause arthritis, but this is untrue. Cracking your knuckles can cause your knuckles to grow larger though.
No. The cracking sound is caused when the small bubbles of air in between your joints pop. It does not cause any problems. People who say that is causes damage are passing on a myth.
