Nope. But, it may help prevent degenerative arthritis.
Best wishes and excellent luck.
Yes, but it won’t happen for awhile. Mabye 50 or 60 years of age. I crack my neck and back and it some times hurts a modest but nothin major.
You’re pathetic if you seriously reckon you’re “addicted” to cracking your knuckles.
You are tightening up the tendons doing what you are doing. When they tighten up, tendinitis, it’s very close to having arthritis so stopping now before you make things worse would be wise on your part. You may want to reckon about not being able to use your fingers at all in a few years to give you incentive to stop doing that.
The popping isn’t the problem, you’re just releasing air/gas from your joints. What’s not excellent is that when you break down your bones to pop, you can overstretch the ligaments which can cause them to ache/be inflammed. Which is what arthritis is, joint inflammation. So you can pop them, but don’t break down it. Stretch your hands daily by gently flexing them and pulling them back and forth. Key word is gently
Won’t cause arthritis. If it hurts, don’t do it..
