Cracking knuckles does not cause them to become large. That's an urban legend to get you to stop. The pop is a result of joint fluid transferring from one point of the joint to the other at high speeds. There have been no cases of arthritis caused by cracking your joints.
If you think, that's part of what chiropractors do is crack your bones for relief; they'd be getting sued out the wazoo if all of their patients ended up with big joints or arhritis...

Well, I cracked my knuckles everyday whenever I felt like it and they don't look huge or large for that matter. I hope not, I crack my daughter's toes every night. Don't want her to have big joints on her feet.

Cracking your knuckles constantly can cause you to damage the cartilage in between your joints. Along with getting " swollen" joints, you are also prone to arthritis at an earlier age.

Yes, it breaks them apart so that air and water can get trapped in between your joints. it can also lead to arthritis in the joints that you crack when the lubrication breaks down.
and yes to your second question.

It does not look pretty doing that so stop it anyway.
And there's no current scientific proof to whether it'll make your joints larger.

I don't know if it makes them large but it surely leaves them disfigured.
