to the people who say it gives you arthiritis: no, just no.
there was a study, and the people who cracked their knuckles had less arthiritis than the people who didnt crack their knuckles. amazing, huh.

Pff, studies...
You can strengthen your finger strength and grip by working the muscles, perhaps by squeezing a stress ball.
Just what I thought, nothing a weeny bit of training can fix.

I've been cracking knuckles since I learned how to (which was kinda late), I thing it does no damage whatsoever. Even if it did, very minimal damage.

My thumbs are triple jointed and cracking generally leads to severe inflammation and lots of pain. My left thumb is about twice the size of the average person's simply because of the swelling and excess dead skin. I don't suggest doing it if you have triple or even double jointed fingers.

7 out of 10 of my fingers are double jointed and I've never had any problems from cracking my knuckles, which I've been doing since I was around 8 years old.

Although I suppose if you're too forceful you could damage something...but generally you stop when there's pain.
*grunting and strenuous breathing while pulling on finger...* POP!! AAAAHHHHH.... Phew, that feels better.

I'm assuming he probably cracked his back since he was leaning in a chair.

A lot of people tell me that the only thing that happens if you crack your knuckles is they just get bigger.I'm not sure if its true though but my brother cracks his knuckles all the time and his knuckles are huge.Once in awhile I will crack my knuckles, but I don't do it as much as I used to.
