Ive had a bad habit of cracking my wrist, fingers, & knuckles for years, how do i stop?

Question

I started out using my left hand 2 crack my right knuckle & my right hand 2 crack my left knuckle. Over time I would add in my fingers, & wrist.......................

8-9yrs later....

I don't even put in much effort no more to crack my wrist, fingers, & knuckles. All I have 2 do is ball up my fist a little bit and they crack. From this i have gotten a little arthritis. How could I stop and make my bones stronger?

Answer 1

Calcium will make Ur bones stronger. U should not be doing this as it will cause the chances of arthritis 2 be higher.

Answer 2

I've had that habbit as well, the thing that worked for me was taking duct tape and taping where i cracked my wrist and fingers. it may sound dumb to you, but hey. It made me stop. I also have half gloves on to, just to make me not look like a total idiot. Also drink alot of milk, and do not take medication! all it is is lies. =]

good luck!

Answer 3

Take Calcium with Vitamin D supplement. That's what I take. It's a hard habit to break. Drink plenty of milk also.

Answer 4

Thats a bad thing, that we do always wihout think.
The better form to forget this is that you remember how much damage youer finger when you crack them.... You must think in the pain that it make in the future, with the artritis.

Some times when we are younger don´t believe how big is the damage from a litlle wrong....think in that and you will forget to do.

Answer 5

Find a substitute. Chew gum.

Answer 6

well the only thing i can suggest is find something to do with your hands to keep your mind off of it, if you get the urge try to stop yourself.... anyone can accomplish anything with discipline and will power!

Answer 7

JUST STOP YOU STUPID *****
