Question: what are the effects of cracking your fingers?
Answer: Between 25 and 54 percent of people crack their knuckles. Most knuckle crackers are male. The cracking sound has been linked to the formation of bubbles in the synovium, but this may not be true. Cracking knuckles does not appear to cause or worsen arthritis, but it can soften the grip and lead to soft tissue swelling.
