Effects of Knuckle Cracking?!


Question: Effects of Knuckle Cracking.?
I have a tendency of constantly cracking my bones.. When i wake up I crack my knuckles, my wrists, my elbows, my knees my ankles and my toes in that order.. I always heard a loud Crack and i love it......but idk if its gonna affect me as i grow older..

Someone told me once that there's no such thing as cracking knuckles.. He said it's just gas being released and it does not cause arthritis..

On the other hand I've heard that it does cause arthritis and that my bones will deform..

Should i stop 0_0 I am 16 and been cracking them since i was 13Health Question & Answer

It really is just gas being released.. I know this for sure because I learned about it in school.. It was never proven to cause arthritis, however you still may get it when you grow up.. also, it makes your knuckles fatter..
Technically, there are no proven effects of this.. However, its best that you stop..Health Question & Answer
