Do you pop your knuckles?

[joanofark]

I do all the time and it is a habit that I can not stop!

[ILoveMyAbbyGirl]

Yes... :o A lot. It's sort of a habit that I can't really break.. and I don't know I'm doing it. :o

[primabella]

I never used to do it and I find myself constantly cracking them. Ack, I hate it though.

I really hate it when people crack their necks though. Once I saw this girl just rotating her head and it was cracking everywhere. *shudder* :p

[flamepony12]

oh god... :p lol i KNOW it's bad 4 you and all but its such a habit!!! :crack, crack: lol~!;) :D :o

[slleipnir]

Yes :X I think I started cracking them when I was in grade 8...so that would be like 6ish yrs ago :X It's a habbit now I guess. However, I find if you're writing a lot and get sore fingers that cracking them helps it a lot o_O

[joanofark]

I never do know when I do it. I do when I'm board. I know it is bad for you but I think it feels really good.;)

[Amber]

Sometimes, I only do it if my fingers feel stiff or something.

[MariaM]

Mmm not sure if this is what you mean, but I don't pop my knuckles...only my fingers. (and thumb) I also crack a lot of other joints but I don't want to start naming.:p

[RedHedd]

EWWW! NO! GROSS and uncouth, disgusting, impolite and can damage your knuckles. Why would anyone do this except to be annoying?

[jazzcat]

No, I never do it.

[DJFyrewolf36]

I only do when Ive been doing a lot of work with my hands and they get really stiff, or when I jam them bowling lol.

[slleipnir]

I crack my toes too...:o

[Uabassoon]

I do sometimes

[K9soul]

I don't, but hubby does sometimes and it's like fingernails on a chalkboard to me. I don't know why but it really gets under my skin :p

[PepperRSM]

I do all the time, it's become such a habit..:o just reading this thread makes my knuckles *feel* like they have to be cracked :p

[ramanth]

I never used too, but lately I've been cracking my neck, knuckles and back. I think I'm just tense lately from stress.

It often feels very good after writing for a long time.

That's when I do it, and it's not to be annoying.

[manda_moo87]

Eww... nope I don't! One of my friends does it all the time... she knows it bugs me, drive me nuts! :p

[LoudLou]

Yes, I do... I have a lot of stiffness and many old injuries and while it's not the best thing to do it makes me feel much better.
