Answer #1

There is nothing wrong with popping your knuckles.. Don’t believe the hype.. I advise you not to”scrack” your knuckles though. whatever that is..

Answer #2

Have you ever heard of the fact that cracking/popping your knuckles leads to arthiritus? it does, i know. im 21 years old, and i have it. and its because you are just popping them, starting, it will hurt, your bones are not used to cracking like that, ive been doing it for years, and im gonna suffer for it by the time im 30. i would suggest not turning it into a habit at all.

Answer #3

If it hurts why would you keep doing it?
