Have you ever had a late growth spurt?

Question:

i've turned 18 a month ago and i'm starting to worry whether or not i still can grow. I'm male, 5'5 since i was thirteen and I was told by a doctor at 15, that I was to have a growth spurt. This was due to having a cracking sound from the knees when its flexed. I heard that it is common for many teens so i'm wondering if you may of had it or know someone who has, and how it turned out. I don't know of anyone who has had this and to this day i still have it and it hasn't gotten any worse except it had spread to my left knee a couple weeks after the doctor's visit. I really wish i could grow just a little taller.

Answers:
If you are still within the growing age then perhaps you can add a few inches by eating a balanced diet and leading an active life. A nutritious diet that includes fruits and vegetables, dairy, cereals, meat, and plenty of water will aid the natural process for enhancing height. A good and proper night’s sleep is also essential for the growth process. Taking part in active sports along with some stretching exercises can have a cumulative effect on human growth. There is not much we can do to grow taller after puberty. There are many products in the market today that claim to increase height of adults, but they are all scams without sufficient scientific evidence. Surgical options, though available, are EXTREMELY RISKY and of course expensive. This leaves us with basically two options.

1.Stretching Exercises: - These exercises will help you improve your posture. You’ll be surprised that how much of “Height” is hidden behind your slouched back. You can, at any age, add an inch or two of height by simply improving your posture. Follow the link below for information on specific height enhancing exercises:

2.Second, you can create a “Taller” effect by following some smart fashion techniques. You can easily add another inch or two of “illusionary height” by improving your dress coordination. The link below can provide some input on height increase through fashion effect:

Good luck

MEN CAN GROW TILL 21 WOMEN STOP AT 18

no, you tend toshrink as you get older, sorry for thwe bad news!!!

Actually, I've been doing research on this topic. Age has nothing to do with it. I read that you can grow at any age you want. 18, 25, 32, whatever. I haven't exactly done it myself, but I plan to buy this book where it shows you how to grow "naturally" really soon. It's some type of exercises I'm assuming you have to do. I know you don't have to take any type of pills for this so that's another reason why I want to get this book because I wish I was a bit taller myself.
