What should you do for knuckles that are swollen from cracking?

If your knuckles are swollen from cracking, you should give them a rest and avoid cracking them further. Applying ice can help reduce swelling and inflammation. If the swelling persists or if you experience pain, consider seeing a doctor for further evaluation and treatment.

Does cracking your knuckles really give yo?

Cracking your knuckles is believed to be caused by the release of gas bubbles in the synovial fluid within the joints. It does not cause arthritis, contrary to popular belief. However, excessive knuckle cracking may lead to reduced grip strength and joint swelling.


Does anything happen when you crack or pop your knuckles a lot?

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.


Is cracking your fingers Bad for you?

Doctors say that cracking your knuckles is likely not harmful, but not saying definitely no either. Research on this habit (which I'm guilty of myself) is not common, and the little that has been done shows no link between knuckle-cracking and arthritis. The association with arthritis is probably an old wives' tale, but hurting the hand can happen in other ways. There's no benefit to it, and nature didn't intend repeated stretching of the ligaments of the finger joints. There have been injury cases where one person over-stretched his ligaments and dislocated his fingers, and another person partially tore the ligament in her thumb.


Can clicking your knuckles give you cancer?

No, you wouldn't get a bone cancer if you crack your knuckles. The type of joint in the knuckles are saddle joints which do lock up periodically and can be unlocked by "cracking" your knuckles. There is NO evidence that doing this periodically, unless it becomes an obsessive-compulsive behavior is in any way bad for you.


Does clicking your fingers spoil the shape of fingers?

I'm guessing by clicking you mean the sort of popping action people do when they sort of push their knuckles. This is completely harmless in the long term and will not misshape you fingers, make your fingers shorter or give you arthritis. It's all just an urban myth. When you do click your fingers or pop your knuckles the sound isn't the bone cracking or hitting against another bone, it's simply a small bubble of trapped air which squeezes its way free through a small space. Kind of like poking a balloon with a pin. It creates a small hole and all the air tries to escape at one making a bang. That's all it is. Nothing damage, nothing to worry about. Unless you do it too hard and break something :P But that's not likely to happen.


Does cracking your knuckles give you double knuckles?

no it cracks because the bubble forms in a process called "cavitation." Once you've cracked your knuckle, it takes about 25-30 minutes for the gas to dissolve into the joint fluid. During this time, you can't crack the knuckle again. But once the gas is dissolved, cavitation is once again possible, and you can start popping your knuckles to your hand's content.


Can anything happen if you do not pop your fingers?

your mom tells you that poping your knuckles will give you arthritis.Thats not true for everyone.Some people have bigger joints then others.So it wont realy hurt them,but if you have smaller joints it will hurt in the future.Poping your knuckles is just the release of gasses.it takes 25-35 min to build up enough gasses in your knuckles to make that popping sound we love.so it wont give arthrits to most but its rly annoying


Is cracking your knuckes bad for them?

Yes it is but you don't develop arthiritis. That is a very famous myth that people used and believed was true. When you are cracking your knuckles, your not actually 'cracking' them. The noise you here is the bubbles in the liquid surrounding the bones pop. However, you can develop other things, which im not very sure about atm. I don't want to give any false information so I will just leave it at that and edit it when I'm sure.


Does cracking your knuckles shorten your fingers?

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.
