The risk of cracking one's knuckles (sliding joints under pressure) is that it can cause inflammation of the joints, or even cartilage damage. In young people, this damage will usually be repaired in a short period, but it could aggravate Arthritis in older adults.

Cracking your knuckles is a way of releasing air from between your joints that really needs to be released, But doing this as a habit can cause arthritis When your joints keep rubbing together can cause stiffness, as i said before can lead to getting arthritis.
