do u get arthritis from cracking your knuckles
Healthbeat. Cracking your knuckles may aggravate the people around you, but it probably won't raise your risk for arthritis. That's the conclusion of several studies that compared rates of hand arthritis among habitual knuckle-crackers and people who didn't crack their knuckles.ven if knuckle cracking doesn't cause arthritis, there's still good reason to let go of the habit. Chronic knuckle-crackers were more likely to have swollen hands and reduced grip strength.
