How do i stop cracking my knuckles?

Question

everyday i have to crack my knuckles at least 4 times a day its like an addiction please help

Answer 1

Although many people will tell you knuckle popping is damaging to the cartilage inside and will give you arthritis, there actually is no scientific proof that it does so.

I used to do it 10-15 times a day, but now I only do it 2-4 times. What helped me cut down was eliminating one finger per day that I wouldn't crack until I got down to 2 fingers. I started doing them all again, but I had cut down so much I didn't have the desire to continue doing it 10 times per day.

Answer 2

just scare urself 2 stop. thinking about how it will give u arthritis wen ur older and it will at least help u cut down. also keep ur hands busy. i used 2 always crack my knuckles and now i never do. and i realized that wenever i cracked my knuckles it was cuz i was bored. if ur bored twirl ur keys or sumthing like that.
