Will I get arthritis?!
Question: I have a habit of cracking almost every joint in my body... I know its annoying but I always get this urge to do so...its like a pain...it dont necessarily hurt but it triggers something in my brain that tells me to crack whatever part of my body where I received the feeling... I can literally be in a deep sleep...but if i feel the urge to crack my knuckles, neck, or any other part of my body i wake right up...Is this a health issue...can i actually get arthritis from cracking my joints...and is there anyway from stopping my urge?

you actually have a compulsive disorder, these include repetitive "cracking" of the neck, back, jaw, or other part of the skeleton. If the reason for this action is explored, the person will often relate the "habit" to a feeling of tension which builds up and can only be relieved by the movement in question.
Sometimes these individuals develop chronic physical conditions related to the constant stress on the muscles and/or skeleton. An example of this is an aching upper or mid back, an aggravated tempero-mandibular joint (TMJ syndrome), or sore muscles.
NO!!! you cannot get arthritis from this. Anyone who says you can clearly hasn't reasearched the topic. As for getting rid of the habbit; It's easiest to get a new, more constructive habbit to help keep your mind off the old one.
no, you can't.. anyone who says you can is a liar.
Virtually everyone gets some degree of osteoarthritis after the age of 25. That said; cracking joints do not cause arthritis. It can cause a broken nose if it irritates some else enough.
See sources for arthritis info.
