How do I stop cracking my fingers?

Question

I've been doing it for about 2 years and I really want to stop. Any advice? I'm having a hard time. Also does it really cause arthritis?

Answer 1

will power ,

Answer 2

rap tape around your fingers and right d o n t    c r a c k  on the tape

one letter per finger hahaha it should remind you not to crack them

well from what ive heard it will come back to bite you when your older so you wont get arthritis till your 60s or older

not completely sure though

Answer 3

No, it doesn't give you arthritis. Ignore anyone who says it does. It's a complete old wives tale. It's not supported by any evidence.

Answer 4

Oh d**n, that's a nasty habit.. I've been doing it since I was like 8 - am now 23 :0 I can't seem to stop, I just love how it feels immediately after and the sound it makes when all of them are cracked at the same time.. Yes, you do get arthritis and.... big knuckles. My hands pain sometimes, especially in Winter.. Just stop now, make yourself, I don't know how but just stop... Good luck!

Answer 5

pinch yourself every time you get the urge and that way, you will connect the urge with pain and you wont do it anymore. I hope I helped.
