This is REALLY gonna sound ridiculous to you but ... you just STOP cracking your joints, fingers, toes, knees, elbows,etc.
A conscious effort.
NOT like you made a note someplace on a piece of paper you're gonna lose.
YOU - STOP.
( That's it! )

I've got the same habit. When I try to stop doing it, my joints ache like hell, so I start doing it again.
If I put up with the pain, will it ever go away???

I have the same problem and I just can't stop cracking my joints. I feel really relaxed after doing it. Do you, too?

I even popped the cartilage in my nose.fingers toes, knees, elbows, chest... Some may say it won't hurt you , but I'm here too say.. Yes it will!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Try finding something to do with your hands that will occupy your mind. Sewing, crafts, art, this will take your mind off the joints and aches and pains and you will focus on what your hands are doing.

This is the best answer. Go to the store and buy some A&D, it is buy the baby area. Rub it on your feet before you go to bed and them put your sock on over it. By the morning it will be gone!!!

It's not a bad thing I asked my doctor and he told me it's just air coming out of your knuckles and it's actually good for them.

Why is it such a bad habit? Doesn't do anything bad, maybe its annoying to some people but you can just learn to control it
