If you want to get arthritus. Then yes it is. But don't worry I crack every bone that I am able too. I don't even care if I get arthritus, if it feels better I will do it immediately.

I am 27 and have popped my fingers since I can remember. I was warned not to and I should have listened. There are days that I wake up and my knuckles are swollen, stiff and in pain. I have pretty slim fingers, but my knuckles are big. This could vary from person to person though.

No. I do it all the time. The popping you hear is the air bubble in between each joint popping. In 20 minutes you can do it again because the air bubble has formed.

I too pop my fingers. It is an addiction for me anyway. I found a website about it.

No I knew a woman who has done it all her life 60 years and the last I knew her fingers were fine.

My 9yr old does it all the time and I told her she will get fat knuckles or arthritis someday. she said her teacher told her it's only popping out air between the bones.it's ok to do it but not constantly.
