A member asked:

Please explain if it is really bad to crack your knuckles?

Dr. Steven Brown answered

Specializes in Hand Surgery

Possibly: Cracking your knuckles involves hyperextension of the joint. This puts undue pressure on supporting ligaments and can result in a degree of joint instability or osteoarthritic degeneration.
