Tomm Posted April 18, 2007 Report Share Posted April 18, 2007 The thing about it giving you arthritis is a myth - Apparently it's not true. But I doubt it's particularly good for your joints... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radfax Posted April 18, 2007 Report Share Posted April 18, 2007 I went through a phase of that aswell, even learnt to do my neck and back at one stage two. i have also heard that the arthritus is only tales as well. Now i cant click anything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orgun_Donor Posted April 18, 2007 Report Share Posted April 18, 2007 I have been informed that clicking is just the nitrogen(or some gas like that) bubbles in the joints, and it doesn't lead to arthritus either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omgnoseat Posted April 18, 2007 Report Share Posted April 18, 2007 Well it surely isnt good for you, i'm the living proof:PI have been clicking my fingers alot and I can't bent them for shit nowI've learned to click my neck aswell and one morning i woke up and couldnt move my neck...fortunatly it was nothing serieus and it just recovered over timeThe thing in the middle of your chest (don't know the name in english..) has started to click aswell, it hurts alot I'm trying to stop, but its addictive or something:P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Dig Posted April 18, 2007 Report Share Posted April 18, 2007 It seems to depend who you ask, I had a chem teachers in 2nd year who told me that it was good for you but most of my family say it leads to arthritis so i dunno. It is an addictive thing to do though makes you feel cool lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RR_Trials Posted April 18, 2007 Report Share Posted April 18, 2007 Ok, I have been to my Doctors about mine as i get sore wrists, clicking IS NOT prooven to give authritis, infact sometimes it makes your joints feel more relieved after being clicked. BUT obviously if it is done continuously it wont be great for your bones but will not give you arthritis.Unless my Doctor is wrong and telling me bullshit there is no argument here.Rorz.

br3n Posted April 18, 2007 Report Share Posted April 18, 2007 can lead to arthiritisno doctor but im sure trials will do worse things to your hands Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manxrider Posted April 18, 2007 Report Share Posted April 18, 2007 I've been doing it for years, can do fingers , knuckles, kneck, back,shoulder and toes. It does feel alot better after you do it, but I reckon I would'nt need to do it if I had'nt started anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexxx Posted April 18, 2007 Report Share Posted April 18, 2007 We had a huge conversation about this to our Biology teacher and it is as said above just air/gases escaping from the spaces in between your joints. Thus why when the gases build up they start to put pressure on your joints, and after clicking/cracking your joints they often feel better.Thats what he said anyway Alexxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gavyn. Posted April 19, 2007 Report Share Posted April 19, 2007 In comparison to what trials does to your body, it's really not that big an issue. I can't do it anyway cause I've broken my knuckles and now they don't click. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elliot Posted April 19, 2007 Report Share Posted April 19, 2007 I have been informed that clicking is just the nitrogen(or some gas like that) bubbles in the joints, and it doesn't lead to arthritus either.Thats right, at least according to new scientist! Its apparently the nirtogen thats in solution in your blood turning rapidly into gas form (causing the snapping/popping sound). Its caused by the vacum that you create when you bend your joints in odd directions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is trials really THAT bad for your body, i mean i know it isn't great with all the harsh jolting, but surly it builds up and strengthens your body?

poopipe Posted April 19, 2007 Report Share Posted April 19, 2007 it gives you aids.it does - I've got aids in both knees, both wrists, all my fingers, my neck, my spine, my ankles, my right elbow and best of all my breastbone (which goes bang rather than click and hurts like a fanny) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hendrix Posted April 19, 2007 Report Share Posted April 19, 2007 I click a few joints - my back is and often clicker, not on purpose... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downhill_rob2@hotmail.com Posted April 19, 2007 Report Share Posted April 19, 2007 no doctor but im sure trials will do worse things to your handsditto.Cracking your back in a twisting motion, puts all the spine parts back into place, if you get what i mean?Like, if you pay down on the floor, and swist your hips as far as you can to the side, and get someone to "force" them, then your back will crack, do it the other way aswell, you feel 10 times better, cause your back is back into place.
