?? how do i stop
I heard cracking your fingers could cause arthritus (sp?), so I'm trying to stop. But it's so hard because it's already a really big habbit. Does anyone know how to break a habit like this??

Sorry if my 1st answer isn't what you wanted.A good way to stop is too maybe find another habit,but one that won't hurt you..like tapping your feet or tapping your fingers.If you have the urge to crack your knuckles at a certain time try immediately doing something else like talking to a friend or something like that.Or if your serious about this put something on ur hands glue.yes it's gross but you won't think of cracking them anymore you'll think of the glue.Hope this helps.

The only thing that cracking your knuxkles can do is to make your grip looser.
"Question: Does cracking your joints especially the knuckles cause arthritis? What
are some of the results of doing so?
Renee Knuckles/Albemarle High School/Charlottesville, VA.
Answer:
Cracking knuckles has NEVER been associated with causing arthritis.
This concept is as wrong as saying weight lifting makes you short, or
playing basketball makes you tall.
The "popping" of the knuckles results from forcing joint fluid to
very rapidly pass from one side of the joint to the other, where the
"sides" are partitioned off by the main bones of the joint. Let me
rephrase that: a joint is an area where two or more separate and distinct
bones meet. The joint fluid provides a cushioning between the joints
so that they don't grate into each other. Cracking your knuckles forces
the joint fluid from one part of the joint to another, and the popping
sound is just the result of the high pressured rushing of fluid.
Rheumatoid arthritis is characterized by the loss of joint fluid from the
joint, but it results from damage to the linings of the joint itself.
It's tempting to claim that the high pressure flushing of fluid during
a knuckle "crack" can cause damage to the lining, but there simply is no
evidence to that effect. It was probably made up by some very sensitive
individuals who hate the "pop".

The arthritis thing is a rumor, however your knuckles can become so large that you won't be able to move your fingers, I know a very accomplished pianist who couldn't play anymore because her hands were completely immobilized by her huge knuckles. Think of that every time you want to crack them. Otherwise, write something on your hand or tie a string around your finger so that you will see it and remember not to crack them. I also like the first person's advice on this. Hope this helps, good luck!

i think that that is just a rumor and i dont think you get arthritus from it. But to stop yourself just like remind yourself everytime you do it that you need to stop. Or have your friends help you and remind you.

you can't get arthritus but it does make your knuckles bigger the best thing you can do is take it a little bit at a time and slowly increase the time you don't crack your knuckles to the point where you don't have to think about it anymore.

OH BOY. haha =) i think that's somewhat a rumor because you're juss letting nitrogen out when you crack them, but that's definately a bad habit of mine. my bf actually helped me out. okay what you do is go for a period of time. go for like 10-20 mins w/out cracking them, crack them & then do the same thing until you go for hours, days, weeks, etc etc. it really works. also, you juss have to be persistant & not give in to it. really though, i think the whole arthritis thing is a rumor.
-hope that helped!♥
