The cracking of knuckles and fingers and such.
 
I crack my knuckles and fingers when the momentstrikes during the day. And I was wondering, how many of you people out there also like to crack your knuckles, fingers, wrists, etc..?

My body cracks all over. I crack each of my knuckles probably once a day, more if I get bored. I also crack my back pretty well. Other people can easily hear my back crack. My neck too. My neck is insane.
The weird stuff is when other things crack. My hip's started cracking lately, and it's stiff when I don't crack it. Ankles too. Somehow my chest cracks when I stretch backwards sometimes. That's the most disturbing one.

I usually just crack my knuckles and such when my fingers start to cramp. Otherwise, I dont do it.

Bearzy 05-11-2010 03:05 AM

my shoulders crack when I roll them

DearSweetAru 05-11-2010 03:37 AM

I crack them a lot XDDD

Draciolus 05-11-2010 03:39 AM

Oh, I forgot about my ankle. Every morning, when I start going down the stairs, it cracks, usually 3 times before I get to the bottom.

I do a cracking type thing to my wrists. I bend my hand forward and then snap it back and it makes this weird popping sound. I do it several times in a row more than once a day, because my hands cramp up otherwise. o.o
i've had people say that I'm gonna get arthritis when I'm older because I do that so often, but it's a reflex. XD

You don't actually get arthritis from cracking your knuckles. =P You just get swollen joints.

Vickicat 05-11-2010 05:37 AM

Stuff.
 
I do it out of boredom. I do things like that, as well as messing with my hair, when I'm sort of idly talking to people but have nothing to do with my hands. :P

I do, usually repeatedly throughout the day. I do it as much out of boredom as i do stress. I started cracking them when i was about 10 or 11, then gave up when i was about 16. It got to the point where i couldnt put my hand down flat on a surface without my fingers cracking. I took it up again last year, when i came to uni. I should prolly give it up again...

I don't usually crack my knuckles or fingers. Instead, I usually get my back, shoulders, and neck. I crack my back several times a day and my neck maybe every few days. I don't really feel the 'tension' in my hands that I do elsewhere.

Pandur 05-11-2010 01:30 PM

I crack pretty much every part of me that I can. xD
I've been cracking my fingers since I was like 3. xDD
I also crack my wrists, my Mom says it's embarrassing cause I do it in public, and she says it makes me look handicap. lol
But I also crack my ankles, knees, toese, shoulders, neck, and my back when I can manage to make it work. lawl
I'm gonna have so many problems when I'm older because of it. xP

I crack my neck, back, fingers, and knuckles. It is a horrible habit and I'm probaly going to get awful arthritis at an early age if I keep it up. I also do it when I'm really nervous.

melonmilk 05-11-2010 02:20 PM

Aaaghh my friend cracks her toes. And she can crack each toe something like twenty times.
...so imagine that while you're trying to watch a movie. It's HORRIBLE.

My shoulder cracks but that's only because on an injury. It's been like that for almost three years. I tend not to crack my joints on purpose though.

Blkmage Disaster 05-11-2010 05:52 PM

With some people when they crack their joints they say it hurts. For me it just feels good. I've been cracking them since I was young, either in a nervous twitch or in boredom. I can crack about anything but my neck, and hips. I try not to crack my back, I don't want to cause a back injury. :sweat:

I can pop my hip, but not on purpose and when I do it hurts like no other. x.x

Majinkoz 05-11-2010 06:32 PM

Wow...I crack my fingers usually in 2 different places same with my toes. I crack my shoulders, elbows, neck, back in many places, knees, wrists, breast plate, clavical and...yeah I think that's it...oh my knees are in more than one place. If I don't do it my body feels tight and just....gross.

Amelia 05-11-2010 07:34 PM

I crack every part of my body that I can figure out how to. Mostly my back and fingers though, I can't count the number of times I do that in a day.

Kid Disaster 05-11-2010 09:42 PM

I don't intentionally crack my fingers. I think the sound is gross. My thumbs crack sometimes, and I'll move them around to make them do it 'cause they get kinda... stuck. >_> My doctor thinks I may have the beginnings of arthritis.
I also crack my right wrist sometimes, 'cause it's been kinda funky for, like, 15 years now. I broke it when I was 5, and the doctor who put the cast on did it wrong, so I had to get surgery to have it re-broken, and, well, it just hasn't been the same. XD It grinds really bad sometimes, so I have to twist it around until it stops doing that.

McNugget 05-11-2010 09:50 PM

Wow... Lot's of cracking going on over here. lol

Cue 05-11-2010 09:51 PM

I crack my knuckles and knees all the time. Knuckles on purpose, knees not so much.. it actually hurts to crack my knees but if I crouch down and try to get back up without holding onto anything, they crack and it hurts like hell. Shooting pain goes all the way up my back. x__x

I couldn't resist cracking my knuckles when I read the title of this, too. Yay, arthritis!

Angelicious3 05-11-2010 10:37 PM

I like to crack my knuckles, but not alot!

McNugget 05-12-2010 12:01 AM

I forgot to list that I also crack my shoulders and neck from time to time. I crack my knuckles and fingers more though. Mostly just when I'm bored.

Facade 05-12-2010 12:30 AM

YUCK!

I hate it when people crack things. :gonk:
Sometimes my hands get achy and whatnot, yes, but I STRETCH MY FINGERS/HANDS! :illgetu:

Cracking joints really freaks me out, especially when people insist upon cracking their spines, necks, hips, or anything else immensely yucky. Or if they crack their fingers REALLY quickly.

I personally do not get the obsession, nor do I see it as a practical way to relieve tension, or whatever the attraction is... :roll:

Fallacy of a Nobody 05-12-2010 11:00 AM

I crack my knuckles, wrists, toes, neck, back, and elbow.

It's also impossible to get arthritis from cracking knuckles etc. Because all you're doing is changing the air pressure in the joint.
