I have clicked my fingers (knuckles) regularly for 10 months... Will I get arthritis when I'm older?

Question

If so when?

Answer 1

Cracking your knuckles won't make you develop arthritis.  If you're going to get it nothing you do will prevent it.  It's just one of those hereditary things, I suppose.

Answer 2

No.  

Answer 3

Not necessarily. Cracking your knuckles has no effect on your developing arthritis, it only serves to lubricate your joints with tendon fluid. Crack away!

Answer 4

No this shouldn't result in Arthritis but it may result (over a period of time) into muscular damage or even joint imflammation of the affected area

Answer 5

No, this is just a old legend with no real basis. Doing this only pushes air out of the joints

Answer 6

Yes.  Depending on your age, but I'm going to take a wild guess and say 13 years, 2 months, 3 weeks, 5 days, 41 minutes, 15 seconds from this exact moment.
