My knuckles do seem to be large, but I don't like rings... or marriage...

Meh, I do it too... In fact, I just did it.
I'm trying to break the habit, but only because it disturbs people.
My knuckles seem fine...

I love how it disturbs people. It's one of the main reasons I still do it.

Come to think of it, my knuckles do sometimes sort of 'radiate' with pain...

Not so much a pulse as it is a smooth movement.



On a side note: Lol, I said come.

It's not like my neck gets bigger when I "crack" it.

Two completely different things.

Quoting Wikipedia
Wikipedia wrote:
Physical mechanisms : ... 2.rapid stretching of ligaments (<-neck)

and as for dangerous :
Wikipedia wrote:
habitual knuckle crackers are more likely to have hand swelling and lower grip strength.


So just don't do it. That simple :).

Come to think of it, the joint in my hand below my thumb usually acts up and hurts like a ♥♥♥♥♥...

Nah, that happens to all heavy typers/mousers/gamers - it's called CTS or an RSI-type injury :). Be nice on the joint for a while and get better hardware.

But seriously. Lay off the finger-crack, it's highly addictive and kills your ability to grip objects.

CSI and RTS. :grin:

I click my joints all the time. I should stop, but I can't help it.



But, try to stop, my big sister clicked her knuckles for years and now her joints lock up if she doesn't.

Same here, whenever I don't pop my knuckles, I can't move them very far, they appear stiff.

I also pop my neck for the same reasons as my knuckles.
