I'm a writer (traditional) and i've noticed my right wrist constantly has cracked/popped for about four years. is this bad or no?

Need more info: Your problem could be over use and/or strain of your wrist. Quite common in your occupation. I would advise you to not ignore it any longer. Wishing will not make it better. Have your family physician recommend an orthopedic surgeon who may obtain an x-ray and suggest exercises and/or a splint depending on his/her exam.
