I do it all the time w/ my fingers to pop them. I can't do w/ my back bones though..... Somebody mentioned that, it might lead to early arthritis... but i have never come across such a thing on internet.
So long as U dont injure yourself while popping, you are absolutely fine :).

those aren't bones you are popping, they are tendons and ligaments. It feels good because you are releasing tension in those tissues. It isn't bad for you, but it is helpful to know what you are doing, you might want to invest in a visit or two to a chiropractor as they are very good at doing it.

I get this in my wrist from too much computer work!
I was told it was 'air' and therefore its okay to pop, as it just releases it...

maybe you should go and see a doctor or bone cruncher...?

I just hope you do not have hyper mobility syndrome, because if you do, then you are looking for trouble later in life.
