Habit: "cracking" your wrists ( fingers, neck etc. ) is harmless- related to air trapped in the joint fluid bubbles "popping" just like bubble wrap . You should be examined for signs of joint diseases like osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. Exercise, do flexion and extension exercises and most of all stretch.
