Do you have a habit of cracking your knuckles?

[crazitaco 596]

yup! not just my knuckles. i'll crack alot of the joints in my body! i'll start with my neck, then crack my knuckles, then the shoulders, spine, and then sometimes my ankles (if i'm sitting in a chair). I love to freak people out like that

Yes, though not nearly as much as I used to back towards the end of middle school/beginning of high school. Now it's more along the lines of a few times a week, whenever I get the urge. I don't do it to signify that I'm getting to work or anything, it's just sort of a compulsion sometimes, or it helps my fingers feel more flexible.

[ChoroChii 284]

Yeah, I've always had that habit. I crack pretty much everything.

My teachers used to tell me not to but eh, it relaxes me and gets rid of tension. 

[Noazark 67]

Yes, all the time. I relaxes me, it's almost like stretching, which I also do a lot. My dad told me it will make me shake all the time when I'm older if I keep doing this, but I don't know if that's true. Either way, whether I want to stop or not it's become a habit by now, so can't do much.

[NavelColt 22,883]

When I'm reminded to.

 

*crack*

 

Not too, too much. Periodically, couple times a day most of the time, but some days it's just constantly something I just do as a habit.

[Sweet Dreams 1,893]

I have an awful habit for cracking my knuckles. I do it at least once every five minutes.

And I like to crack my toes too, sometimes...

[Techite Sparkle 354]

@Sweet Dreams: Um. How do you crack your toes °3•. I mean wouldn't you have to like drop something onto them xD... ow.... Anywho I don't crack mine anymore cuz I herd its bad for your cartallege pr something like dat in the long term. Durp.

[Raritas 6,820]

Haha oh wow yes I do. So much that is pisses my family off when I do it XD I have double jointed fingers, and all I've got to to is scrunch my fingers up and down and they all crack at once. People say that it causes problems later in life, but I don't know how true that is...

Arthritis induced by knuckle cracking has actually been disproven. I don't have the scholarly article on my ATM, but I remember from the abstract that in the survey taken, there seems to be no correlation between knuckle cracking and arthritis.

[Sunlight 357]

I used to crack the. A lot, but I only do it sometimes now. Sometimes I just get a feeling like I need to... I dunno. I'm weird like that.

[Courageous Thunder Dash 7,825]

Yeah, I recently started doing it after I saw people do it. The bad thing about doing it is...I'm a pianist and I cannot afford having problems in my fingers. 

[Dashabel 381]

I can't crack my knuckles easily, and I don't try to anyway, but my toes crack a lot. When I get cold feet, I just wiggle my toes, like you do, and I can't help the loud cracks that sound. It's very easy for me to crack my toes, when I do it on purpose just for experimentation. (I just did it now, by accident)

 

Saying this, I wouldn't advise anyone to purposely crack their joints all the time, whether it's a habit, hobby, whatever... It's most likely going to lead to arthritis when you're older, or even, if you're unlucky, while you're still young.

[Lucky Bolt 35,245]

Nope, because I am not physically capable of it. 

[Cyclone 1066 3,623]

Yes cause it grosses out @Lucky Bolt and her brothers.

[Here No Longer 5,286]

I used to do it a lot more often, but now I do it occasionally. Mostly when my fingers feel like they have dislocated themselves (I swear it happens).

[Never Returning 28,615]

All the time, much to my mom's annoyance! 

[Early Sunsets 2,111]

Pretty often. It makes my fingers (and whatever other joints I decide to crack) feel less stiff

[DixonTheAdversary 1,637]

Not often. If I do, it is usually on accident.

[SparklingSwirls 21,598]

No, I don’t even know how to do that  

[The Kaeya Simp 13,995]

All the bloody time,

If I dont my fingers start to make grinding sounds when they move

[TBD 17,272]

I do sometime not a lot. Only when my hand is sore or without thinking. 

[Messy Mane 9,033]

nah,I never knew how to do it. (and I still don't.)

I will be honest.I thought it was pretty cool when others did it,but many of my teachers warned me not to do it.

[Dreambiscuit 11,324]

I’ve been a knuckle cracker since I was in grade school. It just feels right and I enjoy doing it. My fingers always feel better after I’ve given them a good cracking.

You just bend them the same way you would with your knuckles

[Thuja 3,665]

I used to crack my fingers when I was younger but I don’t need to do that anymore.  Now I just crack my toes and neck.
