There is a fluid between your joints called synovial fluid and it acts as a lubricant to keep joints moving smoothly. This fluid contains oxygen, nitrogen and carbon dioxide and it can build up gasses. When you crack your knuckles (or knees, ankles, back, neck) it releases the gasses and it can make either a cracking, popping or grinding sound.
It's really not a concern unless you feel pain when they crack.
not sure but i crack my fingers too.. i probably shouldn't cuz' they're becomin' crooked... so i can't really answer ur question but tell you my experience!
