Answer 9

Popping joints is a placebo effect if anything. It doesn’t really do anything to relive pressure. There are far worse ways to cope with anxiety than to do that.

Answer 11

Lol kitty

Answer 12

Popping knuckles is not the best thing to do. As you grow older your joints will start to hurt... but yet again, they will probably hurt anyways. I don't think you are in any way, harming your body too much. My father is a chiropractor and knows about this type of stuff. He doesn't really think popping your knuckles will harm you. ....Also, have you tried popping your shoulders? ... if not don't try but I mean, its pretty cool too. lol .-. Have a good day
