yeah cracking your knuckles is just releasing trapped gas between the joints. While not giving you arthritis, it DOES eventually stretch out ligaments in the joints, so it's not good to do all the time.

poping any joint is actually popping an air bubble in it. it really does not cause arthritis. what causes arthritis is the grinding friction from the bone when the joint is no longer cushined.
