I was told that repeated popping or cracking of the knuckles (or any joint, really) can eventually wear the joint down and make it more susceptible to Arthritis in later years. I have this habit myself, and I find it really hard to stop!

nope it's not...popping your knuckles is just a gas bubble between your joint where when you "crack" them the bubble is released very fast creating a noise. it's only bad for your joints if it hurts because i know if i don't pop my knuckles they feel like they aren't very movable until i pop them...or it could be that they feel stiff because I'm double jointed and can't move the "wierd way" until they pop
