Do you crack your knuckles? Options

[markmejia]

I used to always do it for a while, cause I thought it made me look cool. But I stopped cause I got paranoid of getting arthritis from it in the future.

So do you crack your knuckles all the time? Is it really bad for your joints?

You're forgetting one. Your ankles. Feels good. I don't usually crack my back. I'm just too lazy to do it. But it's nice when I do. Fingers constantly. Neck same. It's just become a habit now.

Just like how I used to peel the cuticles of my thumbs and they got infected and the semi circle part of the nail was missing and the skin under was swollen. And eventually the whole nail. It's fine now.

yah i can do my ankles and toes too.

and as for my back, i can do the top portion of my back, the bottom, pretty much all parts of my back in different ways.

im pretty good at popping the top part of other peoples backs too (between the shoulder blades). Just lay them down on their stomach, put the palms of your hands between their shoulder blades on either side of their spine and make them take a deep breath. apply pressure as they're exhaling (SLOWLY) and when they've let it all out (they should be totally relaxed at this point) snap down really quickly with the heels of your palms.
