Will my doctor give me hgh if my hand bone age is below the average standard deviation? (18yrs)

Hard to say: If your bone maturity were less than ~14 your own growth hormone level should be studied. If low, or neutral supplementation might be considered to jumpstart your system. If your growth centers are closed or close to closing (bone age 17-18)there would be no point.
