Why do I always have to crack my knuckles, back, neck, wrists, ect, even though I know it's bad for me?

Answer #1

Perhaps it’s just become a habit?

It’s hard to say exactly why you do something. That is something you have to ask yourself.

Answer #2

It’s not bad for you.. that’s just a myth. Crack your knuckles or w/e whenever you want.. it does NOT lead to arthritis..

Answer #3

Well everybody always tells me it’s bad to do it

Answer #4

It’s not

Answer #5

I know that feeling: it’s uncomfortable, and it feels like you have to, and everything that can be cracked starts to feel achey until you do crack them. I hate that feeling. But yeah, it’s not all that terrible for you, unless you have naturally weak joints or cartilage, in which case you would have wearing and probably pain later. It’s not all that common though.
