I pop everything I can on my body. Fingers, elbows, hips, ankles, neck. All fair game.

You ever pop your sternum? glorious
Oh yes absolutely. I can pop my own back 3 different ways too lol.
How do you mean? Like cracking the knuckles or snapping the fingers?
Cracking knuckles
I’ve been with them for quite a while now and, yeah, we get along well.
Only when I’m intimidating a rival gang of street youths.
I couldn’t if I wanted. I can’t snap or whistle. But I can and do roll my R’s despite having no Spanish in me.
Yes, constantly. It’s perfectly harmless if thats what your trying to get at
People have said that it can cause arthritis
Wikipedia says “The common claim that cracking one’s knuckles causes arthritis is not supported by any scientific evidence.”
It’s definitely an oft-repeated claim, but it sounds like there’s (at best) no evidence of it.
well, you can snap your fingers in half, or cause damage to spine nerves. Only if you try too hard, if it isn’t cracking right now, it is for the best to stop at that, or try different method. But if it cracks right away in your healthy body parts, then this is good.
Also avoid neck cracking, it can really mess you up to death.
All the time. I don’t do it constantly, and I don’t do it if it’s otherwise quiet, but I do find it satisfying, and sometimes get a nagging feeling that a joint “wants to pop”.
I don’t understand this at all aha, no part of my body ever wants to whatever it is when you intentionally pop or crack something :/
I’m able to crack every joint in my hand, my wrists, my neck, my back, my ankles, and sometimes my toes
My elbows, hips, and knees occasionally crack but usually they just make a soft click noise
I can’t click my fingers. For whatever reason it’s a skill I’ve never been able to master
Same here. Nor whistling.
Yes, but I’m trying to wean myself off of it. Partly because it feels like destructive behavior, and partly because it must be annoying for others to constantly listen to me cracking my knuckles.
Thank you, but I already know that study.
My problem is, that while it makes a satisfying click noise and temporarily feels good, it also sometimes becomes itchy or perhaps slightly painful afterwards, and I just don’t like that feeling.
Yeah that’s fair, I personally love it especially back cracks.
