    Hi rich,

    Take a look at Does Jointcracking lead to arthritis?.
    This thread references at least one paper concerning loss of grip strength due to excessive knuckle cracking.

    I am ashed for the current "search" feature on here. Will vastly improve soonishly I hope.

    Best of luck in your final research year!

    Well i am 14 and i used to crack my fingers. It was my New Years Resolution to stop and i have successfully - i only succumb to the temptation when i am nervous. But when i used to wake up - i would have very little grip and i would crack to get feeling. Even after that it was still hard to.

    Hope this helps - next to stop cracking, my neck
