A member asked:
What do you suggest if i'm a 15 year old boy at about 5'6" and am only growing an inch a year. will i grow any taller?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not much: If you started puberty at the same time as your friends, and have only grown 1 inch the past year, chances are you have only a little more to go if any.An xray of your wrist and hand can be examined for open growth centers and that will predict whether your long bones have potential to grow more.
