(By that, I mean increase your chances for arthritis by itself.) There has been little research into whether cracking your knuckles causes arthritis, which is why I say "likely not" instead of no. That said, knuckle cracking can tear or stretch the ligaments in your fingers, or dislocate a finger. You can also develop swollen hands and reduced hand strength as you age. Therefore, it isn't wise to crack them repeatedly. Most likely it will not cause arthritis. (By that, I mean increase your chances for arthritis by itself.)

People in the 1800's didnt like their kids making that noise in church so they told them that so they would stop. all cracking your knuckles does is release nitrogen from your joints that builds up. it releases naturally anyway if you dont crack them nope its a myth.
