Hey guys (:

My name is Hannah, i'm 13 and i've been cracking for quite a few years now.
I crack:
Neck (barely at all)
Shoulders
Elbows (kinda)
Knuckles (a lot)
Back (a lot)
Knees (sometimes)
Ankles (a lot)
Toes

So I absoloutely hate that I crack! My friends and family complain and tell me to stop and trust me I've tried but it is just sooooo hard to stop. Any tips to stop? Please helpppppp

Hey Hannah

I click too (although i am on 3 weeks 2 days without!) my worst are my knuckles....

I picked up a few tips on this forumn a few years ago when i tried to stop before.. The best one i found was to put an elastic band around your wrist and ping it each time you feel the urge to click. I think this is a form of cognative behaviour therapy and i found it most useful to think of the clicking urge as a type of addition rather than as an annoying habbit.

This time round i have not clicked out of sheer will power. I find the first day isnt too bad, but weeks 2-7 are quite hard and stressful. Hands feel tight, uncomfortable and non mobile. I am yet to find out when it stops being uncomfortable...!!

I have also, in the past, made myself a plaster caste glove to put on and wear so that i physically couldnt click. This would have worked if the glove hadnt been SO cold to wear!

Anyway, all the best
