Miracle: i have never heard of anybody gaining height after puberty unless you keep changing your shoes every time you measure your height so if what you said is true it is a growing pain see a doctor and get measured and examined so you will be advised what to do good luck

No idea.: Once people stop growing as teenagers, the growth plates have fused and no more growth in height is possible. With steroids or growth hormone, muscles and the head and jaw can continue to grow, but not height. If you really increased your height twice at your age, that would explain your leg pain, but not how you were able to grow. It would be a rare condition that would be of great interest.
