No, you don't get arthritus from cracking your knucles. You're not actually cracking it, you are just "poping" your bones together
Cracking your knuckles may not cause arthritis, but it can lead to reduced grip strength and swelling in some cases. Frequent knuckle cracking may also weaken the ligaments surrounding the joints over time.
In my point of view, yes. On the other side, no. It can sometimes help with your hands.
I hope you have a cracking time.The glass began cracking under the weight.Stop cracking your knuckles.
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.
no it just gives u arthritis.... its not just for old people u know!!!!! but it does faten ur knuckles............i mean, how would i know though, i iz just a silly unipuss..(unicorn+platapuss)jk lol Answer 2 In fact, it does harm your knuckles! I'm the living proof. It doesn't hurt, but the joints I cracked are swollen. The XRay scans certainly didn't look pretty. Probably damaged ligaments said the doctor. In case you wonder: my general health is excellent, I have never broken a bone in my life and no one in my family has arthritis, neither do I. So, speaking from experience, please be careful. It does not make your fingers less functional, but it does make them ugly. That is, 3 to 5 millimeters extra on every side of a cracked knuckle. My currently malformed fingers give me a serious psychological strain. I always close my hands, slightly hiding it. In public I even try to imagine the viewing angle of others and turn my hands accordingly. Some dreams I have, like speaking in front of a public, will never come true just because of the fear it gives me. It's not a fun situation and if the damage could be reversed I would do so right away. Even now I hope for a future medical evolution making it possible to have this reversed. I've been cracking my fingers from age 10. That's when it all started. I saw an aunt doing it, and I wanted to try the same. I couldn't crack mine vertically, but with a little effort it did work horizontally. I've been very stressed during my youth and somehow this released my stress a bit. I gradually turned it into a habit. I cracked my fingers whenever I could, maybe every 15 to 30 minutes, almost every single day. I believe that from age 12-13 it became visible and towards age 15 it was rather severe. Over 15 years later I'm not where I wanted to be. My current job (webdeveloper) allows me to feel more comfortable, but my real dream would be to work with people, not with computers. As you can see, this has quite an impact. You may cope with it better than me, but I do not wish such a thing for you.
Well Cacking our knuckles Some people thing it causes arthritus, but actually the sound is caused by a various form of gasses that are being let off by the cracking sound, cracking your knuckles can also make your knuckles swell or puff, So it doesn't do anything to your BODY but it does do something to your knuckles!

No. It Makes your knuckles swell up and never goes away. :\ So stop cracking your knuckles!!
No.
No. Cracking your knuckles does not cause your hands to swell.
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 (:
Cracking knuckles sound like cracking knuckles
Cracking knuckles doesn't cause knuckles to permanently swell or increase in size. The temporary swelling after cracking is due to the stretching of the joint capsules and the release of gas bubbles, which does not result in long-term changes like enlarged knuckles.
No, it's just a big myth.
Some people say that it can cause arthritis, but this is untrue. Cracking your knuckles can cause your knuckles to grow larger though.
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.
