What do you suggest if i am 17 yrs old male 5'10", could i grow any taller?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Maybe,maybe not: Most males finish their height at 16-17 when their growth centers close. You may have a little growth left, but it is unlikely to be much unless you entered puberty late and retain open growth centers.
