Hello /fit/, I have a question. I crack my fingers/back/neck and other joints quite frequently and my roomate keeps telling me that the cartridge between my joints will wear off. My bullshit meter went off and I would like to find out moar.
Studies regarding knuckle cracking and it's long term effects have been universally agreed upon as:Inconclusive.I can't imagine it's very good for you, I've been trying to do it less.
>>Cartridge?
The cracking is just gas moving through your joints. I just know it feels nice, so I keep cracking em.
Its harmless, its just synovial fluid passing through your joints.
