A member asked:

What to do if i am always cracking my fingers in class at least every 20 minutes.. is it bad for you or no?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Please stop: Cracking your fingers may not be terribly bad for you, but I am sure the students next to you are irritated. This is an obsessive behavior and can be treated with counseling and/or medication. Please visit your family doctor and discuss this and any other obsessions you may have. I am sure there is help. Good luck!!
