We call it cracking but you are not really cracking ..you see your body prduces gases and that "crack" you hear is actually nitrogen that has built up between the joint being released ..and it's not a bad thing but it's not a good thing to do all the time..if you find yourself "having to crack " all the time try soaking your hands in some warm water ..and look up some hand stretching exercises to help with this problem

Yes. I was a knuckle cracker and now my hands look like crap. Trying to find rings that fit is difficult because you have to get them big enough to get over your knuckles and once you do find a ring to fit over your knuckles, they're too big and spin. Avoid cracking them. It sucks in the long run.

Yes... It can cause arthritis (SP) and then you'll have to get shots of cordizone (SP) to help with the pain and take other meds. Not worth cracking your knuckles over.

No. It's worse to crack the knuckles of someone else. (Especially if you don't know them.)

No it's not harmful, and a reflexologist told me it's good for your toe joints. The pop you hear is caused by the fluid movement in the joint, creating a vacuum temporarily, and causes no harm.

No, but it's still unpleasant to hear someone do it, imho.
