I believe the swelling casued by cracking knuckles is just a myth, I have been cracking them and know people who used to do it or still do it, they never noticed any swelling. Actually when you crack knuckles there is hydrogen and some other gas bubble like substance which actually burst and that is how you hear the crack, so I think that has nothing to with Swelling of fingers or toes
Only if you've cracked them so much and long in a short period of time, and habitually to actually cause joint inflammation, yes the swelling will go down. It's a myth that cracking knuckles causes them to get bigger (other than swelling which is a collection of fluid buildup), or develop arthritis.
I used to crack my knuckles all the time, but i managed to quit. how? well, whenever i felt like cracking i bent and straightened my fingers until the urge was gone, and after, maybe a week, i managed to stop
When you crack your knuckles, your bones are rubbing together. That's what makes the cracking sound. It used to be beleived that cracking your knuckles caused arthridis, but that been prooved untrue.

I know cracking knuckles leads to fat knuckles when older. So cracking toe knuckles can be harmful. Their only good when you crack them while stretching, not for fun
Cracking your knuckles does not lead to arthritis, as some people may think. There is no treatment available for cracking your knuckles as it is not a medical condition.
