I cracked my knuckles all the time as a child. Now, they're enlarged...not painful...just larger than most other ppls'. I've since stopped but the size has never changed. So far, I'd have to say no to arthritis...however, I'm only in my 30's. Who knows what they'll be like in say...20 yrs. Just stop while you're ahead.

Yes. With every crack, you lose a little water from inside of your knuckles. When enough water is lost, it becomes to dry and arthritis starts. Arthritis is the rubbing together of bones.
