Confused! no one has been able to figure out why i've grown taller at 37 after 12+ yrs of no height change. any poss ideas of what could've caused it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
NO: Growth plates fuse at a certain age and then further growth is impossible. Even patients with Gigantism do not grow taller after a certain age. If you can find records that document additional growth at forty you need to take them to a university department of endocrinology
