   Cracking your fingers cause it. [Knuckles]
   Prevent it by not cracking your knuckles.

   No there is no cure for any of the many forms of arthritis. The most common is osteo arthritis which is caused mostly by detorioration from wear and tear on the joint. Other types of arthritis are caused by infections, deposits of uric acid, deposits of calcium pyrosphate or autoimune diseases. Contrary to popular belief cracking knuckles doesn’t cause arthritis nor does it make ones knuckles big. Preventions can include avoiding damaging activities, proper diet, although most people who live long enough develope at least some arthritis. Many people claim that warmer less humid climates also help with the pain and swelling, also avoiding foods high in acidity, calcium or fats depending on the type of arthritic condition. Other than that, medications and pain management techniques and modalities may help to alleviate some of the painful symptoms associated with the condition.
