Will cracking my knuckles give me arthritus

Thats open to debate. If you have done it all your life then you MAY dammage the cartilage that lubricates the joints and that can contribute to arthritic disease.

cracking your knuckles is neither harmless nor desirable. The arthritis connection may be an old wives' tale, but cracking your knuckles can hurt your hand in other ways, and there's no benefit to it. Some students crack their knuckles after writing a great deal, but cracking knuckles isn't a solution for writer's cramp. Instead, take a break, and bend and stretch out your fingers a few times.

No it won't chick its a myth. I've been cracking mine for years, and my elbows, toes, jaw, knees, ankles, wrists, neck, shoulders and back!! If it gave you arthritis I'd be buggered by now!

no i don;t think it does, the cracking is caused by air trapped in the joints i think!
