Cracking your knuckles too much may lead to reduced grip strength and mobility in your fingers. It could also potentially cause swelling, stiffness, or pain in the joints over time. However, there is no clear evidence to suggest that cracking your knuckles leads to Arthritis.
The urban legend is that cracking your knuckles causes arthritis. This not true.
What happens is that when you hyper-extend a joint the synovial fluid (joint lubricant) decompresses and releases its dissolved gasses. The cracking sound comes from the gases rapidly being released from the fluid.
Medical problems can develop from knuckle cracking. These include hand swelling and loss of grip strength. These are related to soft tissue damage not bone damage.
It is suggested that you will get arthritis/bad joints but this may or may not be true.
Having had a joint (elbow, knee) that will not move right, and had to "crack" it to get full mobility back, I think to a degree "cracking" a join is "normal" as long as it is not every second. Cracking my right Elbow is like once a month. I wake up, it's "stuck" I move it, it goes "crack" It now moves.
No, it will not be crooked
You've probably heard this a million times (from doctors, scientists, etc., but they are only saying what I'm about to say because it's true):
Knuckles are the joints that connect your fingers to your hand. They are surrounded and lubricated by a liquid called synovial fluid. Cracking your knuckles causes the bones in the joint to pull apart, which forms a gas bubble (from the synovial fluid) in the joint. This bubble pops, causing the "cracking" sound.
Arthritis is not caused by this motion. Arthritis is a disorder in which a person's immune system attacks his or her joints. Also, arthritis is not just a condition of the joints, it can also attack the lungs and skin, and any connective tissue in the body.
The cause of arthritis is still unknown, as is the case with many autoimmune disorders (such as cancer). An autoimmune disorder is a disease in which the body attacks itself.
You can crack your knuckles all you want, and your highest risk would only be to have your knuckles get sore from doing it constantly (just as if your knuckles were to get sore from punching a punching bag constantly).
Folk wisdom can nice-sounding and comforting/reassuring and all, but in this case (this case), to believe this old myth after hearing the facts is just downright ingnorance (no offense to anyone, but now there's no excuse to believe this myth).
Cracking your knuckles does not make your knuckles bigger as a common myth says. It simply relieves the air pockets that can accumulate in the knuckles and "pops" the air bubble. The frequent cracking could possibly lead to arthritis in later age, so it is best to not crack your knuckles.

Why can't i crack my knuckles anymore?
It's possible that your joints have become more flexible, preventing the buildup of gas in the synovial fluid that causes the popping sound when cracking your knuckles. This increased flexibility can lead to less resistance and, thus, less cracking. Additionally, as you age, your joints may naturally produce less synovial fluid, making it harder to crack them.
Why do you crack your knuckles?
Cracking knuckles is the result of gas bubbles forming in the fluid surrounding the joints. When the joints are stretched or manipulated, these bubbles can burst, creating the cracking sound. It's a common habit for some people but does not have any proven negative effects on joint health.
What do your knuckles look like after years of cracking them?
Frequent knuckle cracking does not appear to cause long-term harm or lead to arthritis, contrary to popular belief. However, excessive cracking may stretch the ligaments in the knuckles or make them looser over time. This can potentially lead to some minor swelling or discomfort in the affected area, but it does not cause any permanent damage to the knuckles themselves.

Does anything happen when you crack or pop your knuckles a lot?
They used to say that cracking your knuckles would give you arthritis. A doctor friend of mine says that that is not true; that "popping" your knuckles is just releasing gasses in the joints. However, the danger with cracking your knuckles is over-extending them or flexing them too far, which could cause pulled muscles or eventual joint damage.
