A: I recall talking to a med student at one point who explained to me that joints (knuckles included) popping was simply liquid shifting from one part of the joint to the other. (Which is why you can’t pop the same knuckle over and over).

What’s so bad about popping your knuckles? And how do you break the habit?

Q: I’ve been popping my knuckles for a long time, far too long. I know that I shouldn’t do it, but I just find myself cracking my knuckles randomly throughout the day.
