IS POPPING GOOD OR BAD? WILL IT CAUSE PROBLEMS?
(3 discussions)
Hi, I am wondering whether popping your joints is good or bad?
I pop my knuckles and ankles all the time, and I just started popping my back.
Some people say that if you pop your joints, you will have problems when your older.
Is this true?
Will you get arthritis? Thank you to those who reply.

My nickname is Crunch; I can pop nearly every joint in my body. It is NOT bad for you if you do it right. It is simply a bubble of fluid forming and popping in your joint. If you PULL on your joint, that is very bad. Do not pull them apart, as that will cause problems.
I’m not saying this cuz I like to be right, I read a scientific study on this, and it states it as fact. If I can find it again, I will send it to you if you want.

Just a fellow popper. I do it out of habit. Would like to stop because at times of anxiety I do it more often than I would like. Do you know other poppers. I would like to learn more about this compulsive behavior I have and I would like to stop.
