Help me stop cracking my knuckles!?

Question

this might seem like something crazy but ever since i was little i have always cracked my knuckles. it drives me, and people around me insane! i already have bad circulation in my hands and fingers and i think its because i crack my knuckles so much. i don't want to end up old with those weird arthritis fingures like my grandpa! i have tried to stop but i cant break the addiction! please help!

Answer 1

i have the same problem.... i cant stop... help me too

Answer 2

I have the same prob. but with my feet too. It feels weird when i dont crack them but  now i forced myself to not crack them for a while and i'm ok. JUST DONT DO IT! tell your friends to hit you or pinch you everytime you do it ( just dont do it think that when you get older you'll feel pain! Come on! do it for your own health)

Answer 3

In reality, studies have shown that cracking your knuckles can actually keep your finger joints limber and decrease your chances of getting arthritis later on in life. Just don't crack them in front of the people that are bothered by it.

Answer 4

i know this probably isn't the greatest answer, but when you're about to crack your knuckles just think of what you're doing and what will happen if you keep cracking them. it works every time for me.
