allibaz91 Posted April 6, 2007 Report Share Posted April 6, 2007 See?!?! Jess can swallow painkillers, and you can do the leg thing!! So really it's only the knuckle thing we need to worry about - which, by the way, I am convinced is going to give me arthritis at 25 Considering it happens with my ankles, wrists and occasionally knees too!

Jess Posted April 6, 2007 Report Share Posted April 6, 2007 Alli, the same thing happens with me, but with my knees. I read today that it's a big myth - it doesn't actually give you arthritis. They've done studies on it, apparently. Besides, it hurts me more if I don't do it! My joints go all weird... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vale4eva Posted April 6, 2007 Report Share Posted April 6, 2007 (edited) Yeh like i said on msn, that is slightly worrying Alli! Buts its also an intriguing talent Edited April 6, 2007 by vale4eva Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allibaz91 Posted April 6, 2007 Report Share Posted April 6, 2007 ^ Oi, I believe this is bullying, Rach! I know, Jess, it feels worse when I don't crack my wrists and ankles! But my fingers, I don't do it on purpose - I go to clench my fist or grab something tightly, and the knuckles just crack! I can't "not" do it, if I want to!

MarMar Posted April 6, 2007 Report Share Posted April 6, 2007 Ugg... I hate it when people do that knuckle-thing. My ex did it compulsively! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jess Posted April 6, 2007 Report Share Posted April 6, 2007 ^^ I feel so hypocritical because I hate it, too, when other people do it. But when the "urge" comes, I just have to do it, no matter what people say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

allibaz91 Posted April 6, 2007 Report Share Posted April 6, 2007 Lol nice, but mean, at the same time! Lol I so can't help it though! I know, the knuckle-thing gets to me too, but then I have to do it! It's like a compulsion .... and I couldnt stop if I tried! Rather irritating, to say the least Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vale4eva Posted April 6, 2007 Report Share Posted April 6, 2007 yeh i imagine it is Just try and NOT do it. When you get the urge just do something else. Go get a drink or something to distract yourself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allibaz91 Posted April 6, 2007 Report Share Posted April 6, 2007 But it doesn't work!! Whenever I go to lift something small or just clench my fist, they just crack! It's not actually something I do on purpose, it just keeps happening, and it's beyond my control Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
