Hey,
So, I've been playing the piano for about 10 year now, I'm 15 years old. Today, I cracked my knuckles, and my friend told me I had a larger chance for getting rheumetoid arthritis? I do it a lot... so, I was wondering if it was true.

Um, I don't think so dude... The mayo clinic says: "The exact cause of rheumatoid arthritis is unknown, but it's believed to be the body's immune system attacking the tissue that lines your joints"

Myth, cracking knuckles does not cause arthritis

I don't think that is true at all.
I myself have rheumetiod arthrits and I was told by my doc there is really no known cause.
