My mother, when I was younger, would admonish me for cracking my finger joints. She felt it would cause arthritis. Since my knees crack, my ankles pop and my toes snap, I'm clearly heading for the knackers yard. :o

If it's okay for Bruce Lee and my g/f who cracks with gusto, perhaps it's not such a bad thing after all?

Anyone wondered why or where the noise comes from when you "crack" a joint?

It is a simple phenomenon of a vacuum created within the joint and the snap is caused by airflow not the bone itself; it has never been proved to cause arthritis to my knowledge..

Maybe you should refer to yourself as the "Kellogs Kid" !!
