I do sometimes but when i do its bad. Though one girl i sit beside in math is brutal, she can make every finger crack loud enough that the entire room can hear, and she does this constantly throughout the period.

Nah, I usually crack my back. So worth it for the few moments of painlessness.

Sometimes, but actually, rarely. It's more just the one finger that I crack.

Oh god I do it so often it's not even funny. It just FEELS good, you know? Sometimes if my joints are hurting (I'm only 20 why are they hurting alskdfjls) cracking them (not restricted to knuckles) helps.

My technique: line up the backs of my fingers while making a fist and just PUSH. CRACKCRACKCRACK. Then tug at the fingers to get any last pop, then squeeze down on my thumbs to crack those, too.


It's kind of an addiction, I think, and a stress reliever XD
(I am so messed up Y/Y?)

I hear you. I did that exact technique while reading it.

All the time. I really wish I didn't though, since it's starting to affect my music. I can even remember when I started to develop the habit. I was in 6th grade, and there was this kid who would crack what, at the time, seemed like every joint in his body. So, I was in absolute awe, because, at age 10, cracking your knuckles is the most badass thing ever.

So I got him to show me how to crack my knuckles, and then I just...never really stopped. Eventually, it became a sort of nervous tick. I am currently capable of cracking my back, my neck (which I know is disgusting), my knuckles, my thumbs, and on occasion, my toes.

I do and I have for a long time. So long that I've had people tell me it's bad for you. And long enough to actually research the matter on whether that's true or not. As far as my knowledge goes your not actually cracking your bones like the sound may indicate but actually the cartiledge that connects one bone to the other. The popping noise is the bubbles in the cartiledge popping.

As anyone who does this sort of thing alot will tell you it relieves a bit of discomfort or pressure on said part of body. People still do say that there are still things like arthiritis to worry about but it's probably more likely that they are related rather than conditional(what I mean by that is if you crack your fingers alot to relieve pressure you probably work your fingers alot which could damage your hands too some extent if not treated accordinly) there still is one thing that could happen if you crack your fingers too much. You won't be able to have a super tight grip needed to play baseball at a proffesional level.

Now stuff like back and neck you just got to be careful. It is actually fairly easy to mess yourself up trying to crack those parts.

I actually starting cracking stuff like necks and fingers after watching DBZ characters do it before they start a fight. After awhile it just latched on for normal purposes.

I crack my knuckles, my back, my neck, and even my toes.
I don't do it as often as before, although this thread is giving me an urge to.

More than that. My thumbs, fingers in two places, wrists, back, neck, both elbows, shoulders, and both sides of my jaw.

And I do this alot.
