Is it true that if u crack ur knuckles quite often that u can develop hand problems in the future?

I'm 53 and have been cracking my knuckles since I learned how. If I develop any hand problems in the future, I'll let you know.

Hi, I believe this is a myth. I used to crack my knuckles all the time. I don't have problems with my hands.

I was told back in the day that I used to crack my knuckles that I would develope very large knuckles. That didn't happen either.

hey, a health news tape that was playing in my doctors office a few weeks ago says that they've decided that it is actually GOOD for you... though no one is exaclty sure WHAT it does. They think it is getting fluid out of your joints, which can be good. but keep in mind that the faster you remove the fluid, the more it comes back. Crack them when they feel liek the need it,a nd don't feel guilty! You're jsut draining out the gunk!

no....
