Can't stop cracking my knuckles....

[Jiggybass]

I need help, I seriously can't stop cracking my knuckles, and now my hands keep tensing up, and giving me some annoying pain, that keeps me from playing sometimes...my fingers feel detached when it happens...what is happening?

Stop staying up all night to post on bass forums, eat some fruit, drink less coffee, remember to exhale.... visit a lady friend, then get some sleep.
