You can ask your primary care physician to order an x ray of your non dominant wrist and hand to assess your bone age. Growth plates typically fuse by age 17yrs. If you have a family history of late puberty/late bloomer, your chances of continued growth is good. A visit to a pediatric endocrinologist will also be helpful to rule out any possible endocrine cause. Good luck. Cayce t.
