No, that would not: be a growth spurt. First of all, those are not the signs of a growth spurt and as you said, you are 38 years old....unfortunately, no more growth spurts at that age. I would recommend that you see your doctor and be examined to make sure this isn't a neurological or other physical abnormality.
