Do you crack your knuckles???

[Papa Deuce]

I rarely do, but every once in a while I do, and it feels GREAT. I do like to crack my right ankle ( ??? ) because that feels great too, but if I do it too often, my shins hurt... or maybe I'l go blind!

So, do you crack anything?

 

[shep]

The only thing I crack is my knuckles...Can't do ankles or neck or anything..

 

[AmazingGrace]

I can crack almost anything that bends. It feels so good to do it. Only, I've been cracking for so long that I get all stiff and achy if I don't crack.

That is funny because I crack both my ankles and I experience the same thing with my shins if I do it too much. Usually it is just one crack every now and then but sometimes they feel like they have to crack and they don't---and that's when I do it too much. It started when I was in 7th grade. My dad was mad at me for doing it and would always tell me that my ankles would crack as I walked down the aisle getting married. They probably did---because they do crack spontaneously although it is not very loud. I also crack my thumbs---I notice I do that when I am nervous. And every once in awhile if my neck is stiff it will crack. What is funny is that I hate when other people crack their knuckles. So why do I do it???? I don't even know what causes it to happen. My parents also told me I would get arthritis. anyone know why some people can crack certain parts and not other people???

It's actually supposedly caused by synovial fluid bubbles in your joints that pop when you hyper extend them. However, I think that with me, at least, I'm cracking bone or something. It doesn't feel like bubbles popping to me.

Neck, my jaw, knuckles, knees, ankles, toes, shoulders & my elbows even crack sometimes.

 

[MouseClubMom]

My knees have cracked ever since I was a kid! I used to be able to crack my ankles but I broke my left one last year and cant do that one anymore.

 

[Poohnatic]

Yep, I crack knuckles (can't get one on my thumb to work anymore), neck and back. If I don't, I feel stiff. My knees crack without me trying. Unfortunately, my jaw cracks-when I was 19, I heard some loud pops from my jaw. That was the start of the TMJ and is the only joint cracking that hurts.

I crack my knuckles and my toes. My partner looks at me like I'm from Mars when I crack my toes, but I have to! It feel so good!

 

[julie_yet]

I can crack my fingers, toes, elbows, knees and my neck.

 

[Sparx]

fingers, wrists, elbows, knees, neck, ancles, back, and toes... I am a very flexible person.

 

[Pooh67_68]

I crack my knuckles all the time. As for the rest my knees, shoulders, and elbows crack on their own. And about a year ago my jaw(TMJ) started to crack.
edited to add wrists.

I think that's all. I really wish I didn't do it but I can't seem to stop. It really gets on DH's nerves because I have to go through the full repertoire. I try not to do it around my kids because I don't want them to start but sometimes DD says "Mommy, why are you doing that?" and I don't even realize that I'm cracking something.

I Crack myself up

 

[lissawynn]

I sometimes crack my neck. Although, the chriopractor cracked my neck like nobody's business.
I sometimes crack my toes, too.

 

[KristiKelly]

So, is it good or bad for you? Chiropractors do it but I've always heard I'm going to have arthritis.

 

[Scullyrules1013]

I'm nuts about cracking my wrists. I usually don't think about it during the day but when I'm bored or am laying in bed I'll start cracking my wrists & (I guess you would call) hips. I also love cracking my back by sitting on the ground and twisting to one side--it feels so good! Occasionally I will crack my fingers and toes but I'm nowhere near as obsessive about those.

 

[chesirechik]

I crack my:

neck, fingers, wrist, knees, hips, back, ankles and toes. I don't think I missed anything!

Drives my family crazy!

 

[Mom2Ashli]

My knees crack by themselves.

And I crack the Whip.
