Knuckle Swelling
-
My knuckles don't swell when cracking. There's only one way to see if the swelling will go down if you stop cracking. Is the swelling a bad thing? Usually, when some part of your body swells up, it's not a good thing.

I've been cracking my knuckles for over 30 years. They are now clearly enlarged and feel swollen and tight unless I take naproxen daily. The swelling is most dramatic in the proximal interphalangeal joints (the main knuckles on each finger). At this point I suspect the deformity is permanent, although I wish I could give up the habit and find out for sure.

My knuckles aren't swollen but they are always red - so maybe they are then - but i feel no pain?
-
I have been cracking my knuckles habitually for probably 10-12years minimum and yes, I believe this habit is responsible for my knuckles being swollen. They are especially bad in the winter when its cold….

I've been cracking my knuckles for 22 years, many times per day and I have no swelling or pain.

Wow, i guess depends on the amount of pressure put on, how you crack etc
-

-
