And they had more instances of hand swelling than

than the 226 people who did not crack.

And another interesting thing is they found that in another study that if you're a habitual knuckle cracker, you are more likely to be a manual laborer, more likely to bite your nails, as I do, smoke cigarettes, which I don't, and drink alcohol, which I do.

Yeah, I don't manual labor, so we shouldn't count that one.

Oh, interesting.

Is that like getting your back cracked or something?

Yeah, we found one more thing, you know, like I'm at the age where, you know, if I kneel down to get something, you're going to hear a snap, crackle, and a pop maybe coming from some part of my body.

I do.

Oh, yeah, like, oh, God, here we go, or something like that.

Yeah, for sure.

And when I walk downstairs, my right –

ankle like on every step just goes pop, pop, pop.

So those things happen.

I don't think anyone knows exactly where that comes from.

There's speculation it could be just like, you know, if it's your knee, maybe your kneecap rubbing on the bones or something like that, or maybe a tendon sliding over a bumpy surface or something like that.

So I don't think it's anything to be alarmed about.

Yeah, because it comes with age.

So every new pain and sound is like, oh, that didn't happen a few years ago.

Exactly.

Right.
