Answer:

Temporarily yes, if you are speaking of a skeletally mature person, taking pressure off of joints will allow them to absorb more fluid and thus be a larger diameter. If that expansion is in a vertical direction then you would in fact be taller until the fluid was returned to outside of the joint.
