You are fine : 5 2 is very average for a female. Unfortunately at this time, being 18, your growth plates are closed. Not much can be done. There are certain limb lengthening procedures but not recommended. High heels help. You do not need anything as you are fine.

Depends on situation: If you have grown about 2-2.5 inches since your menses started you are likely finished growing taller.A simple x-ray of your hand can show of your bones have reached a mature adult stage, or that some growth potential remains. If the study shows the growth centers have sealed, you are done.
