A member asked:
How can i make my bones grow taller and thicker?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Confusing question: Your age is listed as 45. At this point you are at your final height and your bones are as thick as they can be. These features can be modified during the period of growth that lasts in most from birth to age 16-20.
