i have a bad habit of cracking my knuckles every 5 mins.
i can't help it.
they seem to get bigger over time.
i've been cracking knuckles ever since i can remember.
i also crack my toes, wrist, back, neck, and knee, and elbow.
I DONT KNOW WHAT"S WRONG WITH MEE!!

I heard that cracking your knuckles (or any joint for that matter) is actually not bad for you at all.
(extremely annoying YES) but actually medically wrong
it's just an old wives tail.
It was on a show called "What's good for you"
maybe google them and try and find an article.

No. This is a myth.
