i would say you should execise more.. did you know that by you cracking your knuckles it can cause artharitis... and also joint fractures... exercise more often and you want feel all of the tension in your bodyAnswerI recommend when you wish to cracking your knuckles ,instead of doing that do something more satisfying such as massaging your fingers slowly :press each of your fingers by thumb and index finger of either hand , do this for all your fingers and then press your nails for 2-3 seconds and then release the pressure , when you are doing this talk to your self and say to your self :"I AM WORTHY FOR RESPECT AND CALM DOWN AND RELAXING AND GOD BLESS ME" ..... :)
No cracking your fingers does not effect you at all. The saying that it gives you artharitis is a wives tale. In between your fingers are like bubbles and when you move them a certain way you pop them and that's the cracking noise.
