Cracking knuckles: the best sound in the world
For years now, I have cracked my knuckles every single day. I even do it in my sleep.
Now though, I have added my elbows, knee and neck to list of ‘things I can crack’.
A few weeks ago, someone at work told me I was the only girl they know who cracks her knuckles and people are forever telling me I’ll get arthritis. However, after doing a little research the interweb, I came to the conclusion that this is merely a myth.
Here’s something I found:
No, of course it doesnt. A study focused on 300 habitual knuckle crackers found no evidence linking knuckle cracking and arthritis. Chronic crackers did suffer other harm, including soft tissue damage and loss of grip strength. This damage is usually minor, however, and cracking your knuckles actually has some benefits — you’ll feel looser and enjoy more mobility in your joints immediately after popping.
