Ok😂
Thanks for education 😅
What about our neck cracking?
The pop happens as the joint opens up and is not dependent on the joint returning to rest, so while the bubbles may immediately collapse, I don’t think the collapse is what’s making the popping sound. I think it’s the formation of the bubbles itself.
and then a chiropractor says, that will be $80.00
Hate? I love the sound of the pop
who's "we"
Hate?
If you are trying to stop,
You could stretch hands into letter L shape instead
Terrible habit but man is it satisfying
it doesn't feel like bubbles
Thast great. Can i use this video?
I started cracking my knuckles in 7th grade (1975-ish). They all stopped making the cracking sound in 2024. The popping feeling stopped, as well.
I've read that the gas forming the bubbles in the synovial fluid is primarily comprised of nitrogen.
I believe that it’s harmless, but I do wonder if the reason I need to do it so much or that some of my joints start to ache if I don’t do it is reason for concern
The knuckles closest to the nail on both of my index fingers are ready to rock and roll at all times. No recharge necessary. One in particular makes a sound that could wake the dead.
fym "hate" i love it

Just because you hate it doesn’t mean other people also does.

Actually it's the creation of bubbles which makes the sound, not the removal of bubbles.
