Your hands getting big from that is just a myth. I've been doing it for decades and my hands (and other parts of My body) are the same size. All You are doing when You crack your knuckles, is releasing built up gas inside your joints... I know that's hard to believe, but it's true.

I crack my fingers. Your hands won't get big, it is just an old wives tale that it causes your knuckles to get big, some even say that releasing the build up of air between knuckles is a good thing. To stop will be hard if you have done this for very long. You just have to make an effort to not do it, try putting a rubber band around your wrist and snapping it when you find your self cracking what ever it is you crack.

it seems like i have cracked my knuckles just about all my life,and I'm 40 yrs. old now and still doing it,but now my knuckles hurt when i try to crack them ,and no my knuckles aren't any bigger,they used to tell me the same thing.the best way to stop i think is to really put your mind into it,sit on your hands ,are just find something to do with your hands ,maybe this will help you.

I crack just about everything: my knuckles, my toes (seriously), my back, my elbows (although those crack by themselves, I have no control over it), my wrists, and my neck. I crack just about every joint in my body.
So if you find a good way to stop, by all means tell me, because I'd like to know too! ^_^

i crack my knuckles sometiimes. but the easiest way to stop is to just not do it and use ur hands as much as possible so u really have no time to crack ur knuckles. i crack my fingers,ankle,and sometimes toes.

I crack my nuckles, fingers, toes, one ankle, one knee, and my back. I stoped cracking my nuckles but started back. You do it without noticing your doing it.
