I believe knuckle cracking is dangerous because i and i know JC has - lost grip and this clearly shows it isn't 100% safe.

I think all joint cracking is dangerous to be honest.

@imabadpixie:

Hey just thought id post to say that i have managed to cut down the amount i crack after reading some tips on this site.
Personally, i used an elastic band around my wrist to remind me not to crack, and whenever i felt the urge i would hold the band so that my hands couldnt crunch. ((I only really crack my knuckles)). I did this for a WEEK, and managed to keep my self control up all that time- i only cracked about 5 times alllllll week. It was painful, but now i get urges abit less, which is good. I do give into the really strong urges, but they are now not in all my fingers. Also its much easier to control it in situations where others can be like 8O !

Its worth trying, the only thing is, ive noticed that my wrists now pop, which never happened before- i wonder if this is anything to do with the less frequent finger clicking?

Take care all 🙂 let me know if anyones trying to stop!

You know how i stopped my cracking of my fingers - will and self determination - a very hard way

I believe it is a bit of both. Cracking or rather streching the joints will create tense liagments which will cause uneasiness in the joints until you click them again and again and….
However, you are also much more likely to click joints when you are in physiological stress. The last 2 days I had high stress like that and threw my resolve to reduce cracking overboard. The worries I had were overshadowing the Joint cracking ones for this time so I couldn't bother being annoyed by them too.
It is kinda silly, but that's how it works I guess.

When you have cracked your joints for many years, llike I have, it will take a very long time to totally stop if ever.

She failed.
