OK I've done it all my life - feels really great and relieves joint stiffness.

But wow do some people HATE the sound! After several decades my family will still yell at me and throw stuff if I "Crack 10" around them. Luckily my wife doesn't mind - she does it too.

People have always warned, "That'll give ya arthritis y'know..."

Years ago I read of a study where a bunch of old people were surveyed about arthritis in their hands. Guess what? The lifelong knuckle-crackers had lower-than-average arthritis. So there.

I love to crack my knuckles, but my grandparents always warn me "oh, you'll get rheumatism if you do that." I then ask them if they ever cracked their knuckles, and when they say no, I can triumphantly say... "That's why you have rheumatism and I won't" :lol:

Depending on the situation, a good, satisfying knuckle crack can be better than sex.

And potentially less messy, too. :D

((bump))
