Q. Does cracking your knuckles cause damage or arthritis?
A. The idea that knuckle cracking promotes arthritis was brought to you by
the same old wives who warned that eyes can stay crossed and palms can grow
hairy. No, there is no evidence that cracking your knuckles causes
arthritis.
When you bend or pull your fingers, you stretch the lubricant between joints
called synovial fluid. In a process known as "cavitation," bubbles form in
the fluid and then burst. There is some relief and increased mobility when
the bubbles make that satisfying pop, which helps explain the compulsion to
do it again.
Damage other than arthritis is possible but unconfirmed. You could
overextend the ligaments, like a baseball pitcher with a bad elbow, and you
may lose some grip strength. Other than that, the biggest threat is from the
people you are driving insane. (EOQ)
Ha! Vindicated!
Anyone else crack their knuckes? What is it about it that floats your boat?

There is nothing like the relief when one has a headache and simply pulling
one's head to the side makes the neck *crack* (quite painlessly) and
something loosens up and the headache is gone.
