Health myth: Is cracking your knuckles really bad for you?



Here is an article from Fox News with information from a hand surgeon debunking a very common medical myth. The article does not mention that there have been several other more rigorous research studies showing no harm from this habit, including the most recent study using x-rays showing that knuckle cracking results in slightly less arthritis.
Does this surprise anyone?
