    YES

  • Mel:

    no its a mith

  • Andrew:

    I don’t reckon so. It hasn’t been proven

    I’ve been cracking my knuckles for 4 years or so now.
    From time to time, it just hurts (especially in the winter), but that’s about it. No huge deal.

    Who knows, it might even be something else.

  • Jen:

    NO thats a myth.

  • jhendrix01:

    no it doesn’t, but it does make your hands weaker when you’re older

    I’ve heard only pop them by pulling. Never by twisting or compressing.

  • maria.tokiohotel:

    it will cause you to get it in the future as you get older.
    that is what i have always heard.

    Sorry No It Does Not Cause Arthritis At All Ever Just A Myth

    Causes Of Arthritis?

    What are the actual causes of arthritis? Unfortunately, there is no definitive answer as of yet … but knuckle cracking is not one of them!

    Although the exact cause of arthritis may not be known, there are numerous risk factors that are linked to the disease.

    Age. The risk of developing arthritis, especially osteoarthritis, increases with age.

    Gender. In general, arthritis occurs more frequently in women than in men.

    Obesity. Being overweight puts extra stress on weight-bearing joints, increasing wear and tear, and increasing the risk of arthritis.

    Work factors. Some jobs that require repetitive schedule or heavy lifting can stress the joints and/or cause an injury, which can lead to arthritis

    Nearly certainly not. Here is a medical article on just so that subject:
