Answers:
No, it is not true!. You are simply popping the bubble of the fluid that is in the joints of the fingers!. Nothing more!. Recent studies show that if it makes your joint feel more mobile, it is okay to crack or pop them!. Www@Answer-Health@Com
Popping your fingers is actually good for you!. It is called a distraction in therapy terms and is used in all joints of the body as a pain reliever!. As for causing arthritis, it actually helps with the pain associated with it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
You keep that up, and on down the line, your knuckles will swell!. It doesn't hurt to do it once in a while, but several times a day, and it has become a habit, better break that habit and soon!. Best to you young lady!. Www@Answer-Health@Com
It does NOT cause arthritis, like my Mom always told me!. ;)
But, while no specific bad effects are found long-term, there are some studies that suggest that chronic knuckle crackers will have decreased grip strength during old age than non-crackers!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
