Supreme Jointcracker Joined: Jul 15, 2007 Posts: 1463 Location: Sweden My parents keep telling me to stop and my dad's friend who is a gp says i will get arthritis when i am older. I have noticed that i have lost support and my grip in my fingers and i am worrying now if i will get arthritis. Anybody got any advice for me, Thanks, Blaze Back to top Blaze Posted: Sun Jul 22, 2007 7:35 am    Post subject: Supreme Jointcracker Joined: Jul 15, 2007 Posts: 1463 Location: Sweden anyone? Back to top JointCracker Posted: Sun Jul 22, 2007 7:13 pm    Post subject: Administrator Joined: Nov 23, 2005 Posts: 196 Getting arthritis from Jointcracking is a common misconception. See Does Jointcracking lead to arthritis? for a detailed analysis. In short, don't worry! Lots and lots of knuckle cracking can lead to a slight loss in grip and maybe a little swelling but that's about the worst which can happen due to knuckle cracking alone. The same should apply to any other cracked joint. There are guys like JonnyUtah who have been cracking for years and years without developing anything serious. Personally, I consider Jointcracking to be an annoying OCD for the most part. So maybe it won't kill me but being as annoying as it is, it seems still worth trying to get rid of.

When i bend my fingers back they don't hurt. I can't grip in the morning Back to top JointCracker Posted: Tue Jul 24, 2007 6:19 am    Post subject: Administrator Joined: Nov 23, 2005 Posts: 196 Well your dad's gp is obviously only trying to scare you. Of course I'm open to any new findings. He is invited to visit here and cite scientific papers which successfully correlated joint cracking as a possible cause (and NOT side effect) of arthritis in proper studies. To the best of my knowledge there is absolutely no scientific basis for this claim as of yet.

Because its not right losing your grip and your fingers bending back without any support.

I'm interested. Back to top Locker165 Posted: Wed Apr 23, 2008 6:47 pm    Post subject: Elite Jointcracker Joined: Apr 04, 2008 Posts: 137 Location: Northern Ireland Complete and utter nonsense. I deal with people every day with terrible arthritis in their feet and I'm certain they never cracked their toes! If you're going to get arthritis you're going to get it. My Father had terrible arthritis in his hands and never cracked in his life. Blaze has one topic and that's it. And frankly, it's getting slightly tiresome seeing him repeat his mantra constantly. If you don't like cracking don't join a jointcrackers site. Leave the rest of us alone to enjoy ourselves.
