Do you crack your knuckles?

I try not to do it when other people are around... but I definitely do it. Every joint of every finger... the wrists and ankles are fun, too. Used to pop my neck, too, but that became too absorbing and too headachy if it didn't pop... so I weaned myself of that habit.
The first wife and I used to sit on each other's back and pop the vertebrates of the upper back... very stress-relieving, but that scares my new wife so we don't do it.
Health professionals seem to think the practice is harmless in the long term... Interesting that I'm going on 62 and don't have the arthritis problems a couple of my sisters are beginning to have (knock on wood). Maybe just coincidence... crack.

Sometimes I do my knuckles. But occasionally I'll wake up and get the quad pop, take a few steps and both my hips and knees pop. Feels pretty fantastic

Started doing it about 10 yrs ago and now cant stop. I also crack my neck side to side, that's nice.
Also pop my kids' toes, pull them straight until they pop sometimes having two pops from the same appendage. I believe the house record is 19.

cracking knuckles just pops air sacs, arthritis is a disease. medicine says the two are unrelated.

I only crack them one way, pulling fingers back to wrist. Never the into palm way.

The neck feels pretty fantastic, but when it doesn't pop it's sort of stressful.... so I stopped that addiction.

yeah, but when you finally do get that neck pop that you have been trying to get all day, it is borderline orgasmic.

I know what you mean.

I can only get my neck to pop to the right, never to the left. Probably how I sleep
