stop popping my knuckles

Contrary to what your parents told you when you started, popping your knuckles has absolutely no effect on the size of your knuckles. We asked my anatomy teacher. All you are doing is relieving some of the pressure in the bursa (a fluid filled sac to reduce friction) between your bones. But, I want to stop anyways because it is a bad habit. It is loud and my fingers ache for a while if I don’t do it but that subsides. I’ve quit before but have always started again.
