I crack my fingers right now, and am trying to stop. I have noticed that my knuckles are getting big, and i no longer want to do it, so i put duck tape on them. I know kinda odd, but it works. The duck tape makes you think of not cracking your fingers if you feel, or look at it. Hope that helps!
try sitting on your hands whenever you are sitting.
Yess they will deform,not only does it make an awful sound but after a while your fingers will start to deform, this happens slowly but it does happen. The best advice you can get is to stop cracking your fingers.Ruby
No. There is no evidence that cracking your knuckles or fingers will lead to any adverse consequence (not even arthritis).
Most people say cracking knuckles leads to arthritis. It doesn't! I wouldn't recommend cracking your fingers all the time, and I personally don't like cracking fingers in the cold. You can, if you want to, but it hurts. I think the weather of the cold air affects the finger joints which make them stiff and harder to crack. Cracking your fingers also open your joint air holes, so you'll be okay. Cracking fingers are mostly fine to do!!
No. Cracking the knuckles does not damage tot he joint.
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
Nothing scientific behind my answer, but what helped me, was i just made a Really tight fist. I did this because it helped stretch my fingers/toes/jaw/etc
You are craking your fingers.
no I've being doing that for years and noting happened to my fingers.
There is no data linking swollen wrists with knuckle cracking. In fact, there is no data linking knuckle cracking with swollen knuckles or arthritis.
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.
Because it sounds like your breaking your fingers. the vision of that is gross, and when your older your fingers wont work aswell. =]
