Its perfectly healthy. All medical advice shows that cracking nuckles, joints etc doenst cause any long term health effects...see disclaimer below
The old wives tale that you will get arthritis is just bullshit.
so crack away!
FROM WEB MD:
3: Cracking your knuckles will cause arthritis in later life.
ANSWER: False. Depending on your point of view, knuckle-popping sounds disgusting or cool. There is no evidence that cracking your knuckles inflames the joints and leads to arthritis. The cracking causes the bones to pull apart, forming a gas bubble and breaking the adhesive seal in the joint. Crack! About a quarter of the people in the U.S. crack their knuckles and might begin to lose their grip a little. Constant cracking can weaken the fingers.

well great, you won't get arthritis but you'll lose your grip and have weak fingers? lol...
I crack my fingers, back, and neck all too often. Once every couple hours at least. My neck now feels like it always needs to be cracked 24/7. Which is morre annoying than anything I can imagine. Back is the same way alot, and recently I had little spasms (dunno what else to call em) where a sharp pain suddenly hits my spine / lower back. It's so bad I freeze up and can't move. Lasts for about 2-5 seconds.
I was able to quit smoking... But I can't stop cracking shit.

I do it occassionally yeh, it frees my neck somehow. My therapist said it won't hurt you if you do it occassionally, if it's a daily habit it will be unhealthy though. Visit a chiropractor sometime, maybe he can give some solid advice.
I started cracking joints and shit 10 years ago or so and wish i never started it, You become dependant on it, chiropractors that say its ok to crack it wont cause damage i think are full of shit, the way my neck and back feels its worse because i have to depend on popping it or im in pain, i was never like that before cracking..
Nope don't crack my neck but just about everything else ... back, fingers, wrists, elbows, shoulders, hips, knees, ankles, and even my toes. I think it stems from being a gymnast for so many years.
yes 'cause if I don't, it hurts like a mofo. Same with knees, elbows, wrists, and fingers.
SIG TOO BIG! Maximum 120x60 button and no more than 3 text lines of DEFAULT SIZE and COLOR. Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60. Let me repeat... A 120 x 60 button and no more that 3 lines of DEFAULT SIZE AND COLOR text.
Word of warning, I have had dissections in my arteries in my neck and the doctors said it can occur from chiropractors, so I assume it's even more likely if you do it yourself...
So did anyone else have the urge to crack their neck when they opened this thread?

I have to crack mine to relieve the pressure.
I do have RA and it hurts to crack some of my joints most of the time but when I can it feels so good after.
