Answer 1

Yes, they can swell and you can also form arthritis.

I wish I had believed people when they told me this.

I am now a 21 year old with suffered from arthritis in my neck, I used to pop my neck often.  

Answer 2

no its a myth the popping sound is just air in the joint being released the part about it waring the marrow that seperates your bones apart down is rubbish

good luck
