I haven't found much research on the topic, but would love to learn more. Right now I'm assuming that swelling of the finger knuckles is an automatic side effect of frequent cracking. Additionally, I'm curious if the swelling goes down once someone gives up the habit. This concerns me since I think many people find swollen knuckles unattractive.

There's only one way to see if the swelling will go down if you stop cracking. Is the swelling a bad thing? Usually, when some part of your body swells up, it's not a good thing. Back to top bubba Posted: Thu Apr 12, 2007 10:52 am    Post subject: Jointcracker Joined: Apr 19, 2006 Posts: 12 I've been cracking my knuckles for over 30 years. They are now clearly enlarged and feel swollen and tight unless I take naproxen daily. The swelling is most dramatic in the proximal interphalangeal joints (the main knuckles on each finger). At this point I suspect the deformity is permanent, although I wish I could give up the habit and find out for sure.

They are especially bad in the winter when its cold....
