A member asked:
Do you think i should accept "short stature" or do something to fix it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Confusing question: Your age is listed as 31, so any further growth is not going to happen.Most males stop growing at 17-18 and females 15-17. Short of having your bones lengthened by rather dramatic and painful surgery, you are done.
