The only thing that happens from cracking your knuckle is that they will get bigger. And sometimes when i stretch i can hear my chest cracking.

anyone crack their chest?
I do on occasion, my chest will tighten up and its like pressure builds up. While sitting ill hold onto the arms of the chair and twist at thewaist, most beatutiful cracking feeling in the world.

Im pretty sure i cracked my sternum (as in, fractured it) when i was lifting weights in high school, and that was the cause for the chest cracking need.

I hope not I crack my knuckles at least twice a day.

thanks for the feedback yall. i was just concerned because my grandma cracks her knuckles, and now that shes in her old age, she has developed arthritis in herhands and trigger finger and i was just wondering if the cracking of the knucklets contributed to it all. thanks alot to anyone who replied.

btw i don't think knucklet is a word, but it sounds cool huh!?

I crack everything all the time. Whenever I'm bored I'm probably cracking something.

[withapassion]

i haaate it. i hate stretching for this sole reason. naasttyy

 

[bigtomdawg]

yes

 

[gusyouout]

Not exactly. I've read you're more likely to end up with arthritis, but it's not a guarantee you'll get it just because you crack yourknuckles.

There are o studies that show cracking knuckles will lead to arthritis. I do hear that it will lead to decreasing grip ability when you are older but there isno significant negative to cracking knuckles. It's basically the sound of air being release from between the joints.
