NO! of course it isn't. It is actually good for you. I know a kid who pulled a muscle because he didn't pop his knuckles enough.

ask_elmo answered Wednesday February 23 2005, 4:26 pm:
Yes it is bad for your knuckles if you crack them constantly. If it happens accidentaly and only once in a while, it is fine, but if you do it too much it will increase your risk of getting arthritis when you are older. What happens when you crack your knuckeles is that you are forcing joint fluid to very quickly pass from one side of the joint to the other, and it breaks of the cushion that is between the two joints (this cushion stops your bones from grinding together, and when you crack your knuckles it causes damage to the lining). The sound that it creates is simply the high pressured rushing of fluid.

rainbowcherrie answered Wednesday February 23 2005, 12:10 pm:
It you repeatedly pop your knuckles then yes, it is bad for you. It increases your chances of arthritis and other joint related problems when you are older. Although it wont affect you immediatly, it is still bad and you are better off not doing it.

I don't think there is any real evidence that proves popping your knuckles is bad for you. But it is annoying and rude.

Karen answered Wednesday February 23 2005, 8:36 am:
Yes, it is bad, since your knuckles will break and your fingers will get bigger and widder when you get older. It's alright to do it once in a while but if you do it everyday, then you should stop.

What that noise is, is air getting into the space between your joints, which is otherwise devoid of air. Just picture that: an x-ray of your hand, and a big gap between your finger and the rest of your hand. Mmm.

When done correctly by someone, like a chiroproactor, it can be a good thing, but only in specific places, and in specific ways. So, in a more direct answer to your question: Yes it is bad to pop your knuckles. Stop it.
