Does cracking your knuckles cause any harm?!


Question: Does cracking your knuckles cause any harm!?
Answers:
They have done studies on this but nothing significant found that it causes harm!. Really it depends on your family history of joint problems and such!. The cracking comes from the fluid that rubs or moves, against the bone/ cartilage, from one place to another!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

There are two types of cracking!. One that releases pressure, which when you crack it doesn't crack again until everything is reabsorbed back into the fluids and bone on bone!. Bone on bone mean that you are rubbing the bones together when you make the crack and will be able to repeat it over and over!. This kind can cause damage as you are wearing on the bones!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

No, according to health professionals!. You are just releasing air molecules in your joints or something like that if I remember right, it's when it starts becoming painful that it should stop since that is a warning sign of joint problems (which are not caused by cracking your knuckles however)Www@Answer-Health@Com
