Finger Popping Problem!
I'm 13 and i pop my fingers. I really want to stop, but my finger get stiff. Is it really unhealthy to pop them? And is there a way to stop? Please help? I don't want to be old and in pain all the time!

Popping fingers is not bad.
The popping you hear is air bubbles moving out of your joints and the ligaments that connect them and such.
Its actually not a bad thing for flexibility. Its a myth that it causes arthritis. Also a myth that doing it makes your fingers worse. As you get older ligaments and joints get roomier, so popping becomes easier.

I pop my fingers too for the same reason you do.And there is no scientific proof of anything you've heard,like....Your fingers swell up,grinding down the bone,or arthritis.And if it had any harm to it chiropactors would not have a profession.

Try just stretching or rotating your fingers in a different motion. I see a lot of people do it. I don't think its unhealthy but some people get bigger knuckles by doing that (I could be wrong haha).

Well, a lot of people (mainly elders) say that its bad. Really, i'm always told that its just letting the air out of between your knuckles. I crack my fingers all the time, and they're just fine and i've been doing it for like ten years now. lol.
If you have concerns, talk to your doctor.
