Can you imagine the guy's reaction if it had resulted in arthritis in one hand?

Re: Does Knuckle Cracking Lead to Arthritis of the Fingers?
That's the rumor I've heard for years...
Unfortunately, my car accident will result in arthritis prematurely, but it's nice to know I can go back to making noises without repercussions...

All my mother ever told me was cracking your knuckles would give you big knuckles-not something very feminine looking.

Re: Does Knuckle Cracking Lead to Arthritis of the Fingers?
knuckle cracking does not lead to arthritis - arthritis is an inflammation of the cartilage/fluid that surrounds joints. Knukcle cracking wears away this cartilage so cannot be responsible for inflammation. The end result of knucle cracking is bone rubbing on bone and damage resulting from that.

Re: Does Knuckle Cracking Lead to Arthritis of the Fingers?
I've cracked my knuckles all my life and they didn't get big, in fact nothings that big on me except for my belly that shakes when I laughed like a bowl full of jelly...
