Poll: Do you Crack your Knuckles?

[Gildan Bladeborn]

Compulsively, unfortunately enough. My ankles are another problem joint I probably shouldn't crack all the time but do anyways because all I have to do is slightly shift and the cracking commences.

 

[Sargey]

I used to when I was in school, but I don't anymore. However I do on the rare occasion crack my back (usually after a long shift at work where I'm always standing up.)

 

[Plurralbles]

definitely crack my neck a lot more.

 

[ShockValue]

I crack them quite often. It's quite the habit.

 

[Loop Stricken]

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.

Synovial fluid, IIRC. And no, it doesn't cause arthritis or even contribute to it.

 

[Scde2]

Nope, never. I'll try it now.
*Tries to crack knuckles*
Ow!

 

[Bon_Clay]

Crack my back all the time as it makes it feel much better when its stiff. Knuckles only occasionally. Used to crack my neck and it was pretty loud and would creep people out. But can't really do that anymore, I guess not having to wear a backpack for school lets my spine remain in good shape now.

 

[Tanis]

Yes, but I have mild arthritis.

 

[ShockValue]

Nope, never. I'll try it now.
*Tries to crack knuckles*
Ow!

Try it again with a hammer. ;D

 

[The_Echo]

I crack my back, neck, knuckles, wrists, elbows, toes, ankles. If I can find a way to crack it, I will do so.

 

[ethaninja]

Yeah I crack them. And my neck.

 

[Nostalgia Ripoff]

All the time. Well, okay, not all the time. Just when my fingers get tense. I also crack my back (Have to. It's part of my Gym Class warm-ups.), ankles, toes, and I used to be able to crack my neck at will in the Second Grade. Don't know what happened to that.

Yes! That is it's name. And yes that is what I said.

 

[fgdfgdgd]

I can crack almost everything, just my elbows and knees give me trouble, the rest i can do at will.

 

[blankedboy]

Yeah, a fair bit. I can crack my neck, most of my fingers, both ankles and a few toes.

 

[DustyDrB]

I do quite often. It doesn't cause any harm. Sometimes my jaws hurt and I crack them (by moving my jaw around in a certain way) and it feels sooo much better. Sometime it helps relieve headaches. I also crack my elbows, I only started with that after a baseball injury.

 

[TheTim]

well i have a terrible habit of it, i try to stop but it its too tough.

 

[The Eggplant]

Finger knuckles, toe knuckles, neck, and back. Loudly. And frequently. It drives some of my friends crazy.
