Kracking your knuckles

[Reefer Rogue]

Hi,

I'm Oliver and i'm addicted, have been since I was 5. There is NO way i can ever stop. Not that i'd want to though, i LOVE the feeling so much and the sound is actually my favourite sound, especially while under water. I crack pretty much every joint I can, knuckes, toes, knees, the knuckles i crack most are my left thumb and ring finger. I don't crack the ring finger in the traditional method though. Anyway, well I made this thread to see if anyone else does this, or has done it and stopped. Ofcourse any replies are welcome in a thread of mine. Feel free to contribute if you wish.

when you crack your bones and shit its taking air out of your cartilage, and when your like 50, but in your case it will be wen ur 30 you are gunna have the worst arthwritus int he world!!

[TX Girl]

The only thing Im addicted to is doing whatever the hell I want.

But I do enjoy knuckle cracking. toe cracking. Twisting just right so my back crackles all the way up right before I go to sleep. ahhhh

DIRTY MYTH ALERT!

It's actually fairly harmless from what my doctors have told me..

[Reefer Rogue]

Wow, i'm sober and spelled cracking wrong, LMAO.

Anyway, about that arthritus, i've asked doctors about it and they said that was bull. If i get it i don't care to be honest, it's my own fault. PLus, there's always laser treatment for it.

[Frank_The_Tank]

dude i am hooked on crackin my knuckles too man and even if i do get horrible arthritis ill get prescribed medicinal marijuana :) I acually hope i get arthritis when im older. Only if weed is still illegal then tho

[Reefer Rogue]

Ha, yeah, that's a good one.

[Sweeney]

Yeah I talked to my doctor like 2 weeks ago and she said the same thing, it's only a myth and crack away!!

[poiuyt]

I do it occasionally.















*occasionally: whenever I feel like it (haha)

[buddymyfriend]

Love it, can't stop it, everyone I know hates it except my older bro. He can crack his neck, some nasty shit!

Peace

actually from what i heard... cracking your knuckles is now thought to prevent arthritus later on in life.

i crack my elbows, knees, back, neck, every joint in my fingers (including the one right behind the finger nails) shoulders, hips....

totally, totally wrong. all cracking knuckles does is slightly weaken your grip but so little that it isnt significant, has no connection whatsoever with arthritis.

and i really enjoy it but find it annoying when other people do it

[LIP]

I can crack all my joints, and my neck. My friends think its sick and think that im gunner end up breaking my neck doing it. lol.

It's only the vacuum in the joints breaking, and it cant give you arthritis.

[suhl]

lipper has the right of it

[smoke it]

i just crack my fingers and wrists, but i do it like, every 20 minutes

[Kid Dynamite]

i love doing it.


i crack my fingers (sideways too) thumbs, knees, elbows, ankles...
..
and my favourite is my neck. I love freaking people out with the noise...my girlfriend can crack her back as well, i cant figure out how.

[LIP]

I didnt mention i can also dislocate my shoulder, and pop it back in. Only my right shoulder though. The first time i did it i was playing rugby at school, tackled and felt a pop and when i got back up it poped again, so i carried on playing. Didnt realise that i was dislocating my shoulder every time i popped it out untill like 6 months later.

easiest way is to sit in a solid seat (i.e. not a swivel chair) and turn to one side, and use your arms to pull the twist harder....

just how in the hell would you not notice that pain? dislocating joints is generally VERY painful.

Oh i know. When i dislocated my left arm i thought i'd ripped it off. But it doesnt hurt in the slightest on my right arm - although i can only do it twise in a row otherwise it gets REALLY swollen. I guess my right arm is bionic.

[budsmoker only]

i always crack my knuckles, i have since i was a lil kid... its weird my middle finger on my left hand will always crack, like make a noise when i try to... its weird...

[markomon]

I'm 48 and I have been cracking my knuckles every place the guy who started this thread. I saw Grampa Munster crack his when I was 8 y.o. and have been at it since. Sometimes to stress a point in a literal fashion LOL or when writing my nursing notes it is essential I get that built up CO2 out of those knuckles!!

[Skink]

Most annoying thing someone can do around me....

[make it legal]

It doesn't give you arthritis. Its popping some bubbles in some fluid in your joints.

[BizzleLuvin]

BLEAHHHHH! that makes me shudder. ive never been able to do it myself

[Reefer Rogue]

Good to know there's many other crackers here :P

[Inferius]

Heh.
I started doing it a long time ago, and then, beleive it or not, started getting addicted.
The joints in my hands would slowly build up pain, until whether I cracked them or not they continued to burn.
So every time I felt the urge, I slapped myself.
No more problem.

[affasd]

ya i like a good back or neck cracking, i used to crack my knuckles and shit too but i just stopped one day i guess.

[station]

so who cracked everything they could while reading this thread? cause i sure did. lol.

OH SNAP MY NECK!!!!!!

Yeap, i just did my neck, my knee and all my fingers. Now im going to do my toes once i've got my shoes off.

nah bro u cant get laser treatment for arthritus

[LIP]

Breaking the vacuums in your joints will not give you anything, especially not arthritus - if you get it you would have got it eventually anyway.

[napolitana869]

I crack everything, including 3 places for each finger. Last night I was showing someone how I crack my neck and I was expecting one or 2 pops but I hadnt done it for a while and everything went off and it was sooo loud. They thought I broke my neck

[Reefer Rogue]

nah bro u cant get laser treatment for arthritus

My grandad has or had arthritus and he used to get some kind of laser treatment for it, at least to ease the pain maybe, i dunno. That's where i got the info though.

[LIP]

I must admit though, i prefer smoking my joints to cracking them. - God, that was a pathetic attempt at a joke wasnt it? I'll give up now.

[Reefer Rogue]

I love both :)

[Coelho]

it seems there is a lot of people addicted in cracking... crack is very addictive indeed... why dont you just smoke weed? :p

i crack almost every possible articulation... knuckles, toes, ankles, knees,hips sometimes, elbows, wrists, and my two prefereds: back and neck. there is a lot of people think i broke my neck when i crack it, cause the sound is so loud...

once an orthopedist said me that cracking happens when we have the muscles somewhat loose, and exercise would make me crack less, cause it would make the muscles more tense. but im really lazy, so i keep cracking a lot...

That's what mines like. The first crack of the day is stupidly loud, sometimes even i think i may have gone a little bit too far lol.

[Buddha Man]

i crack my knuckles ALL DAY. i cant just sit there and not do it. i used to crack my girlfreinds knuckels all the time too. i love the sound

[BigHyphyD]

It feels sooooo good when you're high.

[Reefer Rogue]

How can something SO good not be SO bad?

:D

[NextLineIsMine]

not true, in the ortheo part of anatomy we learned that as of recent they discovered it was just nitrogen bubbles being squeezed out of the spaces between joints. The cracking sounds bad but its totally harmless

[Up In Smoke 420]

Nah not really. Never got into it. I maybe do it once every day. Like to before I go to sleep. I think though it still isn't good for you. Doesn't it cause more build up or something? I dunno...

[GotWake88]

I have cracked my knuckles every day of my life. And my knuckles are huge compared to the rest of my hand. I don't know if its because of cracking, but I dont know if ill be able to wear a ring on it. oh wow im high and staring at my hands.

[bluntblaze]

Didnt realise that i was dislocating my shoulder every time i popped it out untill like 6 months later.haha damn lip thats sick, i crack my neck, knuckles and ancles and toes every day.

[smokeblunts3]

The best is waking up in the morning after a good nigts sleep and cracking my knuckles, neck, hips, back its the loudest thing i love it. And iam addicted to cracking my knuckles i probly do it atleast 2 times every 30mins since i was in like first grade. I remember back in like 6th grade i thought it caused arthritus so i tried to stop but i couldn't. I also have huge boney knuckles but i was never sure if thats from cracking my knuckles or because i'm skinny.

Also when i cut 2 tendens in my hand and i was at the hand surgeons office or w.e i asked him if cracking your knuckles causes arthritus he said it doesn't but if your going to get arthitus later on in life regardless if you crack your knuckles or not it just won't help it.
