Can i have a growth spurt at age of 17 ? how?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possible: Normally, as a male, the growth plates in your long bones have not closed yet (some close as late as age 20-22), so there is some room for growth before that happens. I would not recommend taking an expensive drug like human growth hormone to get this done, low yield at this age
