Question:
I haven’t grown in a year. I exercise regularly, eat a proper diet and I have just turned 17. I just want to grow 2 inches taller. I am 5’8-5’9 currently. Should I get an x-ray to know my bone age?
Thank you.
Answer:
That decision is up to you, your parents, and your doctor. You can also use the Tanner Stage Calculator to get an estimate of your development. Without seeing you or knowing your current stage of development, I can’t answer your question. It is possible at age 17 to have reached your full height.
