A member asked:

Im so thin. from last many years only my height increase. it looks very bad, my legs are longer than my upper body. plz please help me :(?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See an MD: There is a growth spurt around your age when you tend to gain height rather then the weight. See your doctor to make sure you do not have any condition which needs to be addressed.

What is the cause of pains in my lower legs and feet? I am 24 years old and have never had these sensations before. Could this be related to a late growth spurt? I actually reached my current height early last year after my 23rd birthday?
