How many of you this bad habit? I crack my neck, back, and knuckles the most. I am not a very dainty lady.

It does not degrade joint cartilage or anything of the like. One study concluded that it can lead to hand swelling and diminished grip strength, but the correlative evidence of it has been refuted. It's more likely that metacarpophalangeal joint laxity entails both knuckle cracking and impaired hand functions, which would mean that it isn't a causal effect.
