4/29 Is it myth or reality that cracking your knuckles or other parts of your body is bad for you? \_ What I was told by a doctor years ago: the 'pop' sound is the noise from pressure buildup in your knuckles being released. Overall this is no big deal but over many many years you could in theory damage the joints not due to popping them per se but only because you're adding additional and unnecessary wear. So what I got out of this is it's not a big deal but it's better if you don't. \_ I've been cracking for the past 20 years. I tried getting rid of the habit but I couldn't. -- !orig poster \_ Isn't that much less wear than playing the piano or typing? \_ I started cracking my knuckles about 5 years ago and wasn't able to kick the habit until just recently. I finally made myself stop because I felt that I noticed general aches and pains in the areas I was cracking (which had grown to include all fingers, wrists, thumbs, elbows, ankles, etc etc) When I first stopped there was more soreness since I wasn't able to crack and release the pressure, but after a couple weeks, I think it feels much better than before. \_ what's the oddest joint you can crack? I can sometimes crack the ones between my ribs and my sternum the ones between my ribs and sternum |

I'm surprised someone at UC managed to make a quick decision and get it approved before the 100th time people got stuck in that death trap. I've got clue, patience, and understanding of the situation. It's no big deal and was done thoughtfully. \_ what is the point of the above comment? are you insulting tom or cheering him on? make up your fucking mind! \_ Neither. Why must everything be either an insult or cheer leading? I suggest you adopt a newer, more flexible world view. Your simplistic black and white perspective has proven insufficient. \_ no one suggested otherwise. It's still news. -tom \_ Yes, but it's not news worthy of 3 pages on the motd. \_ I spent my Berkeley years without ever getting on top of the Campanile. I never visited Alcatraz either.
