Can you get arthritis from cracking your knuckles?

Question

I don't know, I heard you can, but I researched it, some sights say its a myth, some don't. So? Do you?

Answer 1

No, you can't.

Answer 2

Nope that's a myth.

Answer 3

Guess what the answers..... NO  

Answer 4

I'm not saying "definitely no" because, while cracking knuckles is common, research on its effects is not.

cracking your knuckles is neither harmless nor desirable.

Answer 5

That is a myth. In reality, cracking your knuckles can actually prevent arthritis from happening.

Answer 6

No you don't.

But I have heard that it will make them stick out farther.

Not sure about that one though.

But it cannot cause a disease.

Answer 8

Hahahahaha I remember when someone told me this.

I was 11 and I FREAKED out!  I thought my hands were gonna fall off!

So after school, I ran home and it looked it up on google.

It turns out that it's just a stupid myth.
